I tried this too and it worked great. I don't use spreadsheets much but Numbers is better than Excel for what I need it to do. Basically I just want numbers in different cells to add up and give me totals and VO makes things nicer by reading me column and row headings. To type a formula, go to the cell you want, type an equals sign, and then a space. After that, type the column and row coordinates like c3+d5. Then press enter. I am sure there are way to do really complicated formulas including cell ranges, but I don't know spreadsheets well enough to say how.

Ok folks, This is for SnowLeopard users. I am going to give this a shot. Try to use the information I supply to dowhat you want to do with numbers. I am not good at spread sheets, but, heregoes. The thing I do most with numbers is to create databases. When you open numbers it opens to a layout area, interact twice. Now you can move through these cells with just the arrowkeys.Row 1 along the top is the header cells which allow you to name the columns.Column 1 will allow you to name the rows. Column 1 row 1 I mite put name of food column 2 row 1 how do you like it. column 3 row 1 I would put how much do you want. Now, lets go back to column 1 row 1 and downarrow once to row 2 just under kind of food and I would put bacon. arrow once to the right and you will hear, bacon how do you like it and I would start typing fried.arrow once again to the right and you will hear, bacon how much do you wantand I would start typing, lots Now, you can go back to column 1 and arrow down once to the next row and type the name of another food, lets say stake and arrow once to the right and it will say stake and ask how do you like it and again and it will say stake and ask you how much and so onEach layout area will have 13 columns and 45 rows and if that is not enough,you can add what you need. I hope that this will be of some help to you folks.Keith Reedy.Click the link below to download MP3's of Keith Reedy's music asa gift from Bibles For The Blind. http://biblesfortheblind.org/download_music.shtmlGod gives His best to those who leave the choice with Him.
