Anne,

Thank you for the answer about higselecting. I did think of this but thought there might be something simpler.

As for the busy messages I am not running a virtual machine. I do not even have Fusion. I might consider using it in the future but then I would upgrade the RAM as well.

Thanks for your help.

Chris

Hello Chris,

You can select a column or row in Numbers by going to the first cell in that row or column and holding down the Shift key, use either the right arrow key for a row, or the down arrow key for a column.

As for your Busy problem, are you by any chance running Windows as a virtual machine? If so, you'll need more memory.

Cheers,

Anne

Hello,

I have just started using Numbers on my Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion and, so far, have two questions.

1. How can I select a whole row or column? A trainer at the Apple Store says you have to click on the row number or column letter. I cannot find a keyboard shortcut to do this nor can I find a way of navigating to these points with the touch pad or keyboard. I am sure there must be a solution so please can someone tell me what it is?

2. Even though my spreadsheets have been very small so far I keep getting "busy" messages and often have to force quit the program and on one occasion even this solution did not work. I seem to remember someone saying that increasing RAM makes a big difference. I have 4GB so would it be worth doubling this, or maybe adding even more RAM than that?

Many thanks,

Chris Edwards
