Yes, kind of. You can go to the bottom of the table, assuming your data extends to the bottom, by either pressing VO shift right arrow, or by pressing command down arrow to go to the bottom of the current column. You have to be very careful with the latter command though, because its right next to the option down arrow, and that command will insert a new row below the current row. Likewise option right and left arrows insert columns to the right and left of the current column. I do that a lot when I’m tired and it can tend to mess up your spreadsheets.
Anyway, command up down right and left arrows move to the extreme top bottom right or left edge of the table. Once at the bottom of the table you can VO arrow right or left to get to the desired column. It’s not like excel where the data is stored in regions and there are special key combos for going to the first, last cell of the region etc. All the data is stored in individual self-contained tables that you set up so each table is its own region in a sense. Unfortunately, if a data range does not extend to the top or bottom of a column, there are no VO keys that will get you to the last data item. you either go to the top or bottom, no in-between. Its not a big deal though, you just have to set up your tables and arrange your data so that its not an issue. > On Feb 8, 2015, at 6:16 PM, Caitlyn Furness <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > So, is there a way for vo to get to the last cell with data when you reopen > it? > Thanks, > Cait > >> On Jan 31, 2015, at 6:07 PM, Phil Halton <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Hi Emilio, >> I use Numbers now on a daily basis and it has completely replaced Excel for >> all my spreadsheet work.
