Hi Richard, Thank you for your post. I noticed you used the word "should." I'm actually looking for something a bit more concrete. I'm hoping someone will write back and state "yes, I can do it."
Since I will be creating and structuring the spreadsheets, I will know the layout, so the content per each column and row is not likely to cause me confusion. I also plan on importing spreadsheets from Excel into Numbers, which means I plan on creating the spreadsheets using Excel on my Windows computer, but I'd like access to the information on the go on my iDevice. Thanks for your suggestions, Joseph ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Turner" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, June 27, 2014 7:15 AM Subject: Re: Looking for a user of the Numbers app Hi Joseph, While you can use vertical navigation to go down a column, when you flick left or right between columns, you don't hear the column header, so as long as you know what column a, b c etc are, then it should work well enough for reading information. I've not been very successful in creating spreadsheets on my iPhone, but I have not spent a ton of time with it either. Maybe someone out there has figured out how to create sheets and will chime in. Oddly enough, if you turn the rotor to rows, it doesn't work, but vertical navigation does.
