No, please, it wasn't intended as a slap. it is true that often you can
learn alot from just experimenting and doing rather than waiting for
answers.
Don't be offended. This is one of the problems of email - you can't hear the
inflection of the speaker and people often take things the wrong way.
But, if you just open up the numbers app and try navigating around and
typing text into cells etc, you'll find out a great deal in a very short
time, and, you'll know better what questions to ask based on your
experience.
Again, no offense intended.

Well, excuse me!
ok. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be imposing. Now, I feel my question
was inappropriately asked, and maybe very idiotic. Sorry for being so
dumb. I'll go find my answers to my Voiceover questions elseware if that's
how you feel. I was hoping to get some help. Not someone telling me to
not ask for help. No, I know you didn't say that directly, but you
definitely implied it, whether intentional or not, and frankly, I take a
great deal of offense to how you worded things.
Thank you kindly,
Christopher-Mark Gilland.

One way to find out the answers to these questions is to try it out and
see what happens. Seriously, you'll learn alot more by doing than asking.
All these things are perfectly suited to spreadsheet applications, and
are easily done. Unfortunately, I use Excel exclusively, but I'm sure
Numbers can handle it as well.

OK, this isn't going to be anything hard. No formulas, and no adding
ranges of cells etc. This isn't even going to be numerical in nature.
Basically, I know I could use Pages, and do this, but I'd like a little
challenge to kind a step a bit out of my comfort zone. So, here's the
situation. I have a Keurig coffee brewer. There are obviously
different types of KCups that I really really like, others I don't
really like, whilst still others I absolutely hate, and can't stand.
The thing is, I'm a really big coffee drinker. I run through the KCups
really quickly. With this said, what I'd like to basically do, is have a
spreadsheet which I will make using Numbers. I want for it to have
several columns. I've not yet totally determined the layout of my
spreadsheet, but escentially, I'll start on the top horizontal row of
cells being the column headers. Basically, it will have things like:
Brand, flavor, coffee tea or cocoe, like/dislike, and maybe one more
column for additional comments.
I'm pretty sure that this would be extremely doable, but I'm just
curious on a few things seeing I've never opened up Numbers a day in my
life. How do I first of all move from cell to cell? Do I do that with
my voiceover up down left and right arrow navigation? Secondly, to type
in a cell, do I first have to find the cell then interact with it, or is
typing once the cell is located sufficient. Finally, after I type a
value into the cell, do I then need to hit return in order to make it
stay typed in the cell after moving away from it? I guess then my final
question is, yes, I know how to select and edit text. That's no issue
at all, and I feel very very good about my commands to do so. My
question however is if something is already typed into a cell, how then
do I type over it entirely, or at least move my cursor from character to
character so I can correctly edit the cell data value, if that be needed
down the road?
Thanks and I look forward to any help you all can give me. Once I get a
few entries in the file, I'll put a link on Dropbox to the file, so you
all can look at it, and check my work so far, and make any necessary
suggestions.
Thank you kindly,
Christopher-Mark Gilland.
