Re: weird problem with Numbers

2011-09-16 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Gigi,

Could you explain exactly what you're trying to do with Numbers? It could just 
be that the commands you're using are the wrong ones and therefore have 
unwanted effects.

Cheers,

Anne

 Hi Guys.
 I am having a really weird problem with Numbers that I can't figure out. I 
 don't know if I can explain this so it makes sense. First, I am getting a 
 Problems error, and I end up with more than one table for my file. I have no 
 idea where these tables came from, and sometimes I can't figure out which one 
 to interact with. Some of them, with when I interact with them, make no 
 sense. Others appear to be older versions of the file. I have Lion, and as 
 far as I know, I have the latest. Has anybody else had a problem like this, 
 and what did you do about it? 
 
 Getting frustrated, because I am getting things I don't want. Can I erase, 
 assuming I can find out which ones are the wrong ones, the extra tables? 
 
 
 Regards, 
 Gigi

Hi Anne.
Here's the best I can explain. When I go into numbers, and I have some files in 
its list of recently edited files, I first get the layout window. I interact 
with that with control-option-shift-down arrow. Then I get the list of tables. 
If I make the mistake of interacting with the wrong one, I sometimes get an 
older version of the file and sometimes I get weird stuff like letters and/or 
numbers in the various cells. I have to hunt around, if I can't remember which 
table is the right one, to get the last saved numbers file. 

As far as I know, I'm doing the right commands. If not, I hope you can tell me 
which of these things I am doing wrong. 

Regards,
Gigi

Re: weird problem with Numbers

2011-09-16 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Gigi,

Just a thought, in Numbers Preferences, I have Back up previous version when 
saving Editing: unchecked, as well as Include preview in document by default.

I must admit, I've never done anything very complex with Numbers so I don't 
know what else to suggest.

Cheers,

Anne
