I was able to use numbers to keep records of artists and albums for licensing logs every month. Works very very well. You can even export to excel as well. There are still things I can't figure out like formulas but oh well. I'll figure out when I need it. lol! Take care. On Apr 17, 2013, at 3

Hello David, I'm glad you find my little trick useful. I don't use Numbers much, but we're teaching iWork to a student at the moment, so I've been brushing up on it. I'd love to be able to write the kind of guide you're talking about, but it takes a lot of time and concentration. I'd also have

Hello Phil, The problem with Numbers used to be its sluggishness rather than its inaccessibility. It now seems to be much more responsive, even with large tables containing over 300 lines. I must admit, I use the trackpad without the trackpad commander to scroll quickly down a table
