Numbers: must be easier to use

Hello

I use a 13 "MBA (early 2015) and tested iWork. I'm pretty well satisfied with Pages and Keynote, in fact, I think they are better than their counterparts of Ms. However, I think that numbers 3.6.2 requires a lot of improvements to make is easier to use.

Suggestions/problems I find are:

  1. Formula bar: the floating formula bar is extremely painful. The braces are not visible and if the formula is entered in a cell at the extreme right of the screen, I don't see even what I type the formula. Lock the position of the formula bar in a place like the top of the screen and make more visible braces.
  2. Graphics: To add plot data graphic existing are much clearer in Excel than in number. Please do not complicate and have a dialog box and add simple data plot similar to excel. The current is not obvious and even tutorials are absent in this regard.
  3. AutoFill: Excel has an AutoFill button located on the lower right of the cell cursor, just double click on will apply the same model/formula down the column. It is a well used service for anyone who uses spreadsheets and please do it as simple as, rather than to reach the menu bar to autofill.
  4. Formula database: must be updated on the equivalent with excel.

It is a user support forum. If you want to make suggestions to Apple you can also post on the following: http://www.apple.com/feedback/numbers.html

    Pass Vista (requires a minimum of 2 GB of RAM) and install Windows 7 (just 1 GB of memory for the 32-bit version).  If you buy the "Full" version (not the upgrade version) from Windows 7, you can Dual Boot between XP and Windows 7 (not all XP software will be running in Windows 7 and dual-boot will allow you to continue to use any software that you place a high value on the). More information on dual-boot below.

    You must first check if your Windows XP-based computer supports Windows 7  Go the the computer manufacturing technical support web site and see if they list Windows 7 device drivers. No driver Windows 7 means that you can not (the most often install Windows 7, if this isn't the case find Vista drivers).

  • You are looking for a SIMPLE, EASY to USE, USB flash drive password protection

    Hello everyone,

    I scoured the Internet looking for a SIMPLE, EASY to USE, method of Word to PASS-PROTECT my flash drives TOGETHER.  I don't mean something that protects just individual files & folders (such as MS Word, Excel & can do).  Or I'm looking for a program that involves having to read page after page of instructions on how to ENCRYPT the drive.  ENCRYPTION is a topic that is really beyond my ability to understand.  I'm sorry.

    Programs like Truecrypt, Axcrypt, etc. are simply much too complicated for me to understand... a lot less!

    My question: are there flash drives available (size 8-16 GB preferably) who have a means of securing the disk with a password?

    The USB key remains in my USB port at ALL times!  I have no other computers here and live alone, so that no one else could access the flash player (or computer).  Otherwise, I would be willing to consider a VERY SIMPLE, EASY to UNDERSTAND AND USE application, either free or something that does not cost me dearly.  (I subsist on a limited monthly disability income).

    Thank you for your time and any recommendations!

    It seems that the solution for you would be to purchase a secure Flash drive.   Security is built-in and it asks for your password when you insert your disc into the computer.   Can't get much simpler than that.  They are a little more expensive, but you pay more for practical reasons.   See the following article:
    'USB Flash Drive Security '.
       <>http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_flash_drive_security >
    To find one, just Google for "Secure USB flash drive", there are a lot of them out there.

    If you have a non-secure flash drive and do not want to replace, then your easiest option would be a program like Truecrypt which you already have reduced as being too complicated.  Don't let the word"encryption" you scared - it all comes down to "enter a password to access".»  Once established, however, it is almost as simple as only to enter a password so if you can find a computer or a local high school computer nerd literate member of the family who would volunteer to set up for you, then it wouldn't be that hard.

    Hi Sylvia,.

    Thanks for choosing Microsoft Community!

    You have reached the right forum. Let us work as a team and try to solve this problem.

    We defer the following methods:

     

    Method 1: Run the following fix - it:

    Hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/hardware_device_problems/en-us

     

    Method 2: Check drive for errors.

    Check your hard drive for errors:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

     

    Important: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

    Hope the helps of information. Don't answer if you need assistance, we will be happy to help you.

  • Windows 7 is hard to use and not easy to use

    I hate windows 7

    Windows 7 - I hate that I want to use xp - but this * system is so hard to use, I can't change that - just look at what all these people say - if she so fine, so why all complaints.

    It is not easy to use, it is not easy to change settings and he wants to watch a file whenever I use it b/c it can not read! what the devil who is all about. I teach and have thousands of files that I don't have time to waste on this. It also wont let me load several programs that I use a lot-just try to disable security to get things loaded is a joke - I still yet get adobe contribute here, b/c, it will allow him to finish loading. It seems to also have this crazy zoom deserving, I can not turn off, do not say to go to the control panel and mouse/touch pad b/c who don't work-i spent countless hours trying just to get this feature disabled.

    7 can be friendly, your business and the people who sell and the reapir this system, b/c he puts money in their pockets. but for most everyday users, this thing is a pain. I'm seriously thinking of send the computer back whole and get an Apple.

    Thanks to all the answers - although some of you thought that I was not specific enough - none of your solutions worked either--it's like buying a car and then find out it does not work when it's rainy, I have files I want and need to use every day and that way just takes too much time!-solution all computer will come back!

    Please, go to the Macintosh platform.  I don't know who will help you...
    (* tries to keep a straight face *)

    Better yet, go to Ubuntu.  Surely you can easily learn that with your "Go Getter" attitude!
    (* more difficult and more difficult to keep a straight face *)

    -You really cela.  Just keep running Windows _ (fill in the blank with that that you have as / got used to / won't change of).  I'm sure all the other hardware and software suppliers will continue to support any product you want to use in this legacy operating system - even though it's brand-new.
    ( * No, I can do.  Hold together... *)

    Seriously - I don't know what you were hoping to accomplish with your post in a peer-to-peer forum.  Threatening to go to another OS platform just after you said, 'I don't want to get used to it?  Guess what happens when you go to a completely new platform.  "Get used to it" or "report again".  And these other platforms - Yes, they are going to change so IMPORTANT with new versions too.  Sometimes for the better (according to you) and sometimes for the worse (in your opinion).

    Things change everywhere.  You don't have to it (not everyone) and you are welcome to try and get it changed / change it to where you like it - but no matter what - things will continue to change around you.

    Windows 7 (and soon enough, the next version of Windows and so on down the line - or in the BONE of you choice here) has been and things wrinkled around her, change.  Other suppliers began to do things which * has * worked on this version (now) and can work on the next version.  Some of these suppliers are probably products you use and that you may want the next revision- but if you pass the platforms/stay with the old platform because you don't want to try to "make it yours" and learn new ways of doing things - you will be left out.  You'll probably complain to suppliers (or as many do, complain back from the operating system manufacturer - as they * control * what other companies are doing in terms of offering support for their products.)

    I use Windows, I use * nix and I use Macintosh.  If you already do all the three too - then deleting your life maybe not a problem.  Go ahead.  Just offering you should THINK of everything before you decide to take a more drastic measure that might be necessary.

    If you are talking about undelete programs, car brands, or

    If you can recover data from a damaged disc depends on what the
    the damage. But in general you can not. In most cases, your only recourse
    is to bring or send the drive to a professional file recovery company.
    This kind of service is very expensive and may or may not work your

    Hi stephenf95557665,

    (1) you can simply save the file on your computer as allows you to save in the older version of the player, it is not necessary to register I your cloud of document.

    If you save the file to the document cloud, you will be able to access any system from anywhere.

    (2) If you still think earlier version users need, then they can probably uninstall the last being & reinstall the old version using this link http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

    For Photoshop CS2 activation has been reprocessed, so your original drive and the serial number does not work.

    As an owner of CS2, Adobe has a copy without activation and serial number, to which you are entitled.

    The serial number is to the right of the download link for Windows. You'll need this one, not your old number.
