Hi there Watch out though. Make a copy. I accidentally erased a table on my iPhone and I still don't know how I did it. I failed to press command s on my Mac first, I was in the Cloud, and somehow I couldn't get back to the older one that had the table still. Also, I couldn't figure out, and I need to work on this some time, how to get out of a cell once I double tapped on it when I was in my iPhone table. If you figure it out, please let me know.
