How can I stop streadsheets opening in Numbers at the top cell all the time?
Hi all - When I open a spreadsheet in Numbers, I want ti to open at the last row of cells, but it always opens at the top [a1], this is after I’ve interacted to get rid of the template screen, which I always get when Numbers opens. I’ve looked in the preferences for Numbers, but couldn’t see anything that would let me change where the cursor is when opening a spreadsheet - Andy --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages postedto the Mac-Access forum at the list's public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: How can I stop streadsheets opening in Numbers at the top cell all the time?
Hello Andy, As far as I know, you can’t change this behaviour. But what’s so difficult about doing Cmd-down Arrow to get to the last row? Alternatively, you can do VO-Shift-End to get to the last cell.

Re: How can I stop streadsheets opening in Numbers at the top cell all the time?
Hi Anne - When I do CMD down arrow, I just get that ding sound that indicates the key stroke doesn’t exist, same for VO shift down arrow, that’s why I asked on list. Maybe I’am not using Numbers correctly. Each time I open a spreadsheet, I land in the layout area. I have to hit VO shift down arrow twice to actually get in to the body of the spreadsheet. Once there, I can’t do CMD down arrow to get to the end of the spreadsheet as mentioned above - Andy On 16 Aug 2014, at 10:54, Anne Robertson a...@anarchie.org.uk wrote: Hello Andy, As far as I know, you can’t change this behaviour.

Re: How can I stop streadsheets opening in Numbers at the top cell all the time?
Hello Andy, I interact once with the table then I can press Cmd-Down Arrow and I’m at the bottom of that column. Cmd-Right Arrow takes me to the end of the row. I have my mouse set to ignore the other cursors but I don’t know whether that makes a difference. Another thought, have you set Cmd-Down Arrow to do something else in Numbers? Someone I know set Cmd-c as a short cut for something other than Copy and wondered why it wasn’t working to copy things. However, I do find that Numbers easily gets temperamental and I have to repair permissions to get it to behave itself again.

Re: How can I stop streadsheets opening in Numbers at the top cell all the time?
Hello Andy, I don’t get all the VO chatter you do because I have verbosity set to Low for Numbers but I do have to interact with table one. I tried with Quick Nav on and it still worked. Then I tried with the Trackpad commander on and it still worked. You didn’t say whether you’ve repaired permissions lately. If you have, then maybe reinitialising the PRAM will help.

Re: How can I stop streadsheets opening in Numbers at the top cell all the time?
Hello Andy, You should repair permissions after installing new software and after updates. People who only use their Macs for simple tasks can get away with not repairing permissions, but as soon as you start using more complex programs such as Numbers, you’re going to encounter anomalous behaviour just as you have already done. I’ve been a Mac user now for 18 years so I do have some idea what I’m talking about.

Re: How can I stop streadsheets opening in Numbers at the top cell all the time?
Hello Eleanor, To repair permissions: • Open your Utilities folder (Cmd-Shift-u); • Type dis to get quickly to Disk Utility and open it (Cmd-o); • Interact with the table and navigate down to your hard drive (probably the second item in the list); • Stop interacting and navigate twice to the right to make sure that First Aid is selected; • Navigate straight down as far as Repair disk permissions and press VO-Space: • You can follow progress by navigating up to the Results table and interacting with it; • When the repair is complete, it will say “Permissions repair complete” at the bottom of the Results table; • Quit Disk utility. There will always be a few things to repair. I usually find about 7 lines in the table, but I’ve seen computers with thousands of lines of repairs!

Re: How can I stop streadsheets opening in Numbers at the top cell all the time?
Hi Anne - I’ve always respected your knowledge and experience, right from first coming to the mac and this list just over 12 months ago. Like I said, the only reason I haven’t done repairs etc was from fear of messing something up. Now a feel more confident with my mac, I am more brave about doing things. I am as you commented, a lite user of the Mac, in so much as what I do is pretty basic and strait forward, even my spreadsheets are just basic house keeping these days. However, I did upgrade to Mavericks a couple of weeks ago, so maybe now is a good time to look at repairing permissions - Andy On 16 Aug 2014, at 18:09, Anne Robertson a...@anarchie.org.uk wrote: Hello Andy, You should repair permissions after installing new software and after updates.
