Makes me wonder if it's not a tactical reasoning for MS to not make
Office work on the Mac? Certainly not in their best interest to have
more folks go to OSX.

I agree that the find command, which works in other applications with
the VO keys and f, should work in Numbers as well. Since Apple is
busy making changes to iWorks, I hope that's on our wish list for
VoiceOver for this to be fixed.

Thanks Ann, I will definitely try all this, and it good to hear that
Find works, but seriously are you kidding me, that is a little
ridiculous to have to do all of that for a simple find/search in a
document. Again, glad to hear it works, but there has got to be a
much easier way.

Hello Brian,
It's perfectly possible to search for content with VO in Numbers. I
just tried it and it works in Mountain Lion.
To find specific content,
Turn cursor tracking off;
Press Command-f and enter search term;
Navigate down and interact with scroll area;
Interact with table:
Find desired result;
Bring mouse to VO cursor and do a mouse click (VO-Shift-Space);
Stop interacting with table and scroll area;
Navigate up to next scroll area;
Interact with scroll area, Layout area, and Layout item;
You will be on the selected cell;
Press VO-Shift-T to identify the cell.
Cheers,
Anne

You can get all the memory upgrades you want, but it is still not
going to make numbers fully accessible. I have spoken to Apple
countless times about Numbers and Accessibility. If you have a
large spread sheet, there is no way to do a find or search to jump
to a cell, as they broke that function in mountain lion. Apple is
aware of this issue, and they told me numbers and pages have not
been updated since before Voiceover came out, so it doesn't fully
work with Voiceover. Kind of frustrating when you consider
productivity. I used to use numbers all the time, and several
times a day all of the sudden I couldn't enter any data into the
spread sheet. I would have to quit numbers and restart. I have
switched over to a database program as numbers got so frustrating
to use.

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
