I noticed on my Mac when I went to update these that the version was dated back to the 14th October when we know for sure these files had been updated more recently? I have hunted high and low to try and find these later...

    Invoice in Numbers

    How do I set up an invoice in A4 format in Numbers (v. 6.2), so that the PDF that is generated, is ok for printing? I have often tried to find out, but it does not work. (If I print, the invoice will be too large for a A4 paper). Thanks for any advice.

    I has a sad... a Numbers tale...

    Since 2012 I have used Numbers to help my grandfather with his hobby business. Nothing major, just typing up the monthly invoices for his clients and, during tax time, figuring out how much he paid all the contractors. He is now "retiring." There isn't a need for his side gig in the current...

    Designing a Graphic in PhotoShop for Numbers

    Can someone please help me? I'm not new to PhotoShop but maybe I'm newer to Numbers. I can't figure out how or why when I design a graphic in photoshop to use in my Numbers spreadsheet, when I drag it into my spreadsheet it's not the same size and actually a lot smaller.

    Numbers is a passive-aggressive violent dictator - Return key (and other horrible atrocities)

    Hi everyone, 
 I'm so frustrated by the new Numbers. I've been using it since iWork '09 and it has always been an inferior product compared to Excel, but on Catalina it's such a poor experience I'm wondering whether I'm just not finding the options I need. I'll try to limit the rants.

    Numbers doesn't autosave OR auto-recover anymore!

    Since updating to Numbers 5.3, it no longer autosaves. After a problem caused by a video fault, I lost 5 hours worth of work - Numbers also didn't autosave. I contacted Apple support via webchat, and you can see the conversation attached.
