Subject: Not hearing, "Selected header cell" in Numbers
Hi guys,

I'm trying to figure out how I can avoid hearing, "selected header cell," in Numbers when moving from row to row and column to column.  I want to make a foreign language glossary for my different translations, but that is extra information that I don't really need.  Intermediate verbosity doesn't change it at all, and low verbosity says, "header cell, with nothing else, which may or may not be alright; I've not figured that out yet.

And also, since I use a Braille display, I assume there's a good way not to clutter the Braille display with unnecessary information?

Thanks so much, all you guys, for the help.  it's tremendous and appreciated.

Harry

    You have to remove the header cells completely.  From the table menu, look at the header submenu and check, 0.  The default is 1.

Take Care

Hi Harry.
Please be aware that the default in Numbers is one header column and one row header. Therefore, as a precaution, you might want to insert one column on the left in column a and a row at the top before you take out your headers and change it to no headers. I'm afraid if you don't do that first, then you might accidentally erase your top row and the first column. Then after you have taken out the headers, you can erase the extra row and column you put in as a precaution.

Hi, I changed those numbers to zero, and that seemed to fix the issue.  I still here the column and row, though, as in A1, B1, etc.

Thanks,

Harry

Hi Harry.
I think you have to hear one or the other. As far as I know, this is true in Windows for Excel, at least it is with Jaws. I don't remember Jaws saying anything about headers, but I believe that it does always say the column and row designations. Someone can correct me on that if I'm wrong.

If you're inputting a whole bunch of things, you might try going into TextEdit and typing what you want in the first column. If you want  column 2, then put a tab and type it. Finish out with a carriage return. Then you can select all the text with command a, and then press command c to copy. Then go to Numbers, put the cursor on the first column where you want your text to go, and then do command v to paste it.

You might not need all this explanation, but I figure somebody does if you don't. I do this procedure all the time because I get thirty or forty entries that are similar that I want to put into Numbers. I've found it's faster to do it through TextEdit. I assume you could do it with Pages as well, but I've found TextEdit to be easier.

Oh, wow.  That's fascinating.  So by putting a tab between each world/designation, it will automatically put them in separate columns?  Thank you so much; i never knew this, and this will make my translation glossaries so much easier once I begin my certificate this fall.

Hi again Harry.
If you have a braille display, and I think you said you did, the tabs will appear like the letter i with a dot below it. The carriage returns will look like the letter m with a dot below it. So, if you type in TextEdit in either grade 2 or computer braille, you can see the control characters displayed so you can find out if you missed putting in a tab. Because, if you forget one, of course, your text will be in the wrong column.

You can turn on control characters by saying yes to see dots 7 and 8. This is one option I wish we were able to turn the display of control characters on and off.

I do this all the time because I have four columns I need to separate in my braille proofreading reports. Although I could use Numbers to do this, I found TextEdit better since it produces rtf files, and it is ore flexible for my reports.

Hi again, Eugenia,
Do you perhaps know how to have Text Edit stop autocorrecting my spelling?  I am typing in both English and Spanish, and I really don't need it correcting all the Spanish!  Lol.  I prefer to have it continue autocorrecting in mail, etc.

Thanks,

Harry

Hi Harry,

Go under the Edit menu when in TextEdit and down to Spelling.  You can check and uncheck the spelling options you desire.

Later...

Hi again Harry
I think maybe Tim answered this question, but remember that on the map, you can always press command and the comma  to have access to preferences in any application.
