Hi Harry. My husband is a computer guru and he knows all this little stuff. I guess he told me; I'm not sure. Also, my first computer was an Apple 2 E, so I've been dealing with these computers for a while.
If you ever do use TextEdit to do this, please be sure to either save the TextEdit file or use copy and not cut. This is because, and I don't know for sure if this has been fixed, but Numbers will overwrite rows if you don't put in enough to cover what you're pasting in. Also, if you start with a blank template like I did once, Numbers did not add rows in when it reached the limit of its rows. It just cut off the text. Maybe they fixed it in this last update, but I'd want to test that first.
