Excel on a PC has keyboard commands to navigate spreadsheets and workbooks. Examples: Home key goes to the beginning of a row. Control Home goes to the top of a spreadsheet. Control pageup / page-down switches between workbooks. Shift right arrow selects cells. The equals sign starts a formula.

I love to game, and mudding is not going to work so well on an IPad even with Mud Rammer. Logic and reaper works well on the mac and windows, not an Ipad thing On 12/11/18, Ed Worrell wrote: > Hey KliphnShari, > > Would you be willing to write a guest post for my companies blog about your >

I do the same, and I am a total. People don’t like change, but once you knuckle down and embrace the change, you might learn that you like it. I know I do. Can even do bill pay and place orders on my providers websites. > On Dec 11, 2018, at 1:11 PM, Ed Worrell wrote: > > I really don’t see

I really don’t see why they couldn’t use the iPad in the same time frame or manner to do a simple spread sheet. That’s what a keyboard is for. Just because it has a touch screen it doesn’t mean that it can’t be done. My business partner has gone to using his iPad Pro for everything from spread

Then let's see how long it would take a blind person using Excel or Numbers on an iOS device to accomplish a variety of tasks which let's say would take me 1 hour in Excel on a PC. I am thinking of setting up a workbook say with a separate sheet for each day of the month where one would enter

I am sure others disagree, but as far as I am concerned working with a spreadsheet on an iOS device with out without keyboard is an incredible pain in the neck and as long as I have access to a desktop or laptop nothing could convince me to do it on a daily bases. . From:

And that may never happen, an iPad after all is a touchscreen device which is primarily designed to be used with touch and I imagine most sighted people use the keyboard mostly for quick text entry. From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Kimberly Sent: Monday, December 10, 2018 12:41 PM
