How to Navigate and Select Cells in a Numbers Spreadsheet

After you create a spreadsheet in Numbers — the spreadsheet program offered by Mac OS X Snow Leopard — you need know how to get to the cell where you want to enter your data. You can use the scroll bars to move around in your spreadsheet, but when you enter data into cells, moving your fingers from the keyboard is a hassle. For this reason, Numbers has various movement shortcut keys that you can use to navigate, listed in the table shown here. After you commit these keys to memory, your productivity shoots straight to the top.

Movement Shortcut Keys in Numbers

Key or Key Combination	Where the Cursor Moves
Left arrow	One cell to the left
Right arrow	One cell to the right
Up arrow	One cell up
Down arrow	One cell down
Home	To the beginning of the active worksheet
End	To the end of the active worksheet
Page Down	Down one screen

You can use the mouse to select cells in a spreadsheet:

• To select a single cell, click it.

  
  



• To select a range of multiple adjacent cells, click a cell at any corner of the range you want and then drag the mouse to the opposite corner of the range.

  
  



• To select a column of cells, click the alphabetic heading button at the top of the column.

  
  



• To select a row of cells, click the numeric heading button on the far left side of the row.
