Hi Tim and Nic,
could you tell me how to create a pop up menue in Numbers? I looked for this
posibility but couldn't find it. Same thing with checkmarks. Do you know where
to find them as well?
Thanks and all the best

HI Jürgen,
Select the cells you wish to make popup menus or checkboxes;
Jump to the formatter with VO-J;
Select the Cell radio button, navigate to the cell formatter scroll area and
interact with it;
From the data type popup menu, select popup menu or checkbox, depending on
which you want. If
Hi Nick,
I have came up with the same findings as you regarding the pop-ups. I will
submit something to Apple Accessibility in the next little while.

HI Tim,
Thanks for this Nick. This is indeed great news. The only thing I’d like in
addition to this is some sort of indication or notification that I’ve landed on
a cell that contains a pop-up menu but I’ll take what we’ve gained.

HI Tim,
Agreed, that is something Apple still needs to work on. Currently, it seems to
tell you that you've landed on a popup menu if no value has been selected (i.e.
it is an empty popup menu). Also, as soon as you've activated the popup menu
and selected a value, VoiceOver announces itself as
Great news! Just as you delighted me by discovering that obscure method, Tim,
it seems Apple has fixed the issue. Once VoiceOver is focused on a popup menu
cell, just hitting the space bar or pressing VO-Space now activates the popup
menu as we would expect. This makes Numbers really, really
Just a little more info on the popup menu issue in Numbers, but still no
solution, unfortunately.
I got my girlfriend to check, and she says that just clicking on the cell
doesn't do anything. There's a little triangle or arrow below or next to the
cell though, and clicking on this brings up
Hi Nick,
Try this with pop-ups:
1. Navigate to the cell with the pop-up menu.
2. Route the mouse to the VO-cursor with VO-cmd-f5.
3. Turn on Mouse-keys. (Press the Option key five times if you’ve set this up
in System Preferences.)
4. Go right 85 to 90 times. (Letter “o” on a laptop or
Wow, Tim, so obscure but worked like a charm! You're a genius (or at least very
meticulous and patient). :) I thought the days of Nokia phones without screen
readers was bad enough, remembering how many presses of each key to call
someone or send a message, but you make that look easy. I felt
to Apple Accessibility. I
hope they fix this as apart from that I'm really liking Numbers.
On a related note, have you tried checkboxes and other format types? I haven't
yet but if we're reporting popup menus in Numbers it would be good to let them
know of any other issues with other format types

Nick,
There was this same issue back in iWork 09 versions and I’d hoped that they
would be fixed. I tried lots of combinations yesterday including the physical
click of the Trackpad, various modifiers with the space or return or trackpad
click and even mouse-keys with no joy. Unless someone
Hi all.
Tim, have you tried the new VoiceOver actions menu, accessed by VO Command
Space?
Just a thought.

Hi,
Thanks Matthew for the suggestion. I had not tried that one but still no joy.
There were two options available, Edit which more or less did a VO-space and
Show Menu which was the same as a VO-shift-m bringing up a Contextual menu.
Certainly worth a try though.

Hi there
This is one of the things I mentioned earlier. It used to be that if you
pressed command option i it would imply say Inspector and you could do
formatting that way. I've been told it comes up, but VoiceOver does not say it
and I haven't yet figured out how to get to the Inspector
HI Gigi,
I can get to the format inspector fine and I have no problems formatting a cell
as a popup menu. What I'm having difficulty with is activating the popup menu
and setting it to a particular value. If I VO-Space on the popup menu it simply
allows me to edit the text. Option-return seems
Hi,
I'm using the new Numbers on Mavericks. I've formatted some cells as popup
menus. These work beautifully as popup menus on my iPad. However, I can't get
the popup menus to work on my Mac. On the Mac, I can only edit the cells much
like ordinary text cells.
Does anyone know how to make the
