AppleWorks SprdSht vs Numbers: viewing large sprdsht?

I'm just moving my spreadsheets from Appleworks to Numbers, and can't figure out how to view the larger spreadsheets as I did in Appleworks. Specifically, in AW I can make a spread sheet into multiple panes so that I can hold the titles of column across the top, but be looking several pages down the sheet, and I can hold the left hand column as well while looking in another pane that shows cells that wold be far off the page to the right. I'm sorry I don't know the specific name for this function, but is viewing this way possible in Numbers? I can't find any reference to this in the help docs.
thanks
Philip Perkins

You are either talking about freeze panes or split in excel. not sure what its called in AW. These functions are not yet available in Numbers. Freeze panes because of the new paradigm of how the program works compared to other. Split, just not yet implemented (if we ask enough they might add it at a later date).
Search on these forums and the internet and you can find some interesting workarounds for some of these.
Hope this helps,
Jason

  • Appleworks spreadsheet to Numbers problems

    I'm trying to convert an Appleworks spreadsheet to Numbers. When Numbers opens it, a couple charts with line graphs do not show all the data. There are 8 series in the original, but in Numbers, only 6 of the series are shown on the charts (line graphs). If I change the chart style to 3D line graph, all 8 series are then visible, but I'd rather have just a 2D graph. Trying to create a new chart from the data table does the same thing. It's the two series of data at the bottom of the table (ie. last two rows) that aren't showing up. What's going on; how do I get all the data to display? Thanks.

    Barry,
    Here are screen shots of one of the tables with its chart selected, the chart in 2D and 3D. Sorry it's so hard to read; it's a large table. Thanks.

  • Problems viewing large tif files in preview

    i'm having trouble viewing large tif files in preview. the tif files are on a cdrom - when i click on the file to open it, it opens only the first 250 pages of the file. the file has approximately 3,000 pages. how can i get preview to open the rest of the pages?
    thanks for any suggestions.

    no trick - i didn't create the cdrom but it only has 3 tif files with approximately 3000 pages each, not 3000 large tif files. plus several smaller pdf files, but those aren't giving me any problems.
    i don't know whether they're compressed, but i still can't get more than the first 250 pages to open, even after copying the file to my desktop. if anyone has any other ideas, i'd much appreciate it.

  • Having trouble opening Appleworks docs in Numbers 2.0

    I'm trying to get ready to make the jump from OSX 10.6.8 to Mavericks.  I have a ton of stuff that I've created using Appleworks 6.2.9.  I had been given to understand that the newer Mavericks versions of iWork would not open Appleworks docs, so I got iWorks '09.  Pages is doing just fine, but every time I try to open an Appleworks spreadsheet in Numbers (it's version 2.0) I get a message stating, "The document “xxxxxxx.cwk” could not be opened."  I really can't move up to Mavericks until I get this stuff in a format that will allow me to continue to work with it.  Any advice on how to proceed would be very much appreciated!! -- Tom

    You do need to update to Numbers 9.0.4. You can download the updater from this page. But, as always, if you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

  • "View Larger" option with MacBook Pro

    Gentlefolk;
    I am trying to find the "view larger" command that Windows has...which just increases the size of the content within a mail window or browser window, and I don't see it. I have decreased my resolution to 1024x768 which helps, but now for example in this forum, my text is running off the sides of the screen and I can't figure out how to resize the content so it all fits within the browser window without the bottom scroll bar.
    Must be something easy, but deuced if I can figure it out. The command-two finger trackpad kinda works but then I have to scroll around and keep moving the content in the window. So all I really want is the Windows View Larger command which increases the size of items in a window but reformats the content so I dont have to scroll around.
    What am I missing?
    Thx!!

  • I'm trying to make "Stop motion videos"  in Final Cut EXPRESS by using 100's of still photos and setting them to music.  They are coming out blurry if viewed larger than 4x6 in size

    I'm trying to make "Stop motion videos"  in Final Cut EXPRESS by using 100's of still photos and setting them to music.  They are coming out blurry if viewed larger than 4x6 in size.
    I don't understand why this is happening. 

    Quick follow up, since I was on my phone earlier and am back to a real keyboard.
    To access Easy Setup, hit Control Q.
    If you click on the blue discosure triangles, a dropdown menu with about a dozen different presets will be displayed. Select the one you want, (Here, I've selected 720P.)
    Whatever you select for a preset will not be applied until you make a new sequence. (I don't like to have sequences with different properties in the same project so I prefer to make a new project if I change the Easy Setup.)
    Because photo aspect ratios are different than video, I typically put a solid generator of some compatible color on the first track (v1) and put my photos on the track above (v2). Looks better, IMO, than black bars. There are other creative ways to display them. And of course, you could scale them up to fill the frame…but then you probably would have to re-position them.
    Good luck.

  • How do you make a Pages document default view larger?

    I can't figure out how to make my Pages 5.1 default view larger than 125%. I would like to change it to 150% as a default for all documents. Is there a setting somewhere?

    Although there is a setting for default page zoom in the Pages v5.1 plist file, setting this manually to any custom value, whether directly in the plist file, or via the Terminal, does not stick in subsequent Pages usage. This could be set and was retained in Pages ’09 v4.3, which you may still have installed in /Applications/iWork ’09.
    Other than the last sentence as an alternative, your only current recourse is to set zoom manually from the toolbar.

  • ***What is your favorite VI or other software to view large sets of waveform data?

    What is your favorite VI or other software to view large sets of
    waveform data?
    I have to look at waveforms with several sets of y data of 10000 or so
    points. Should I put this into Excel? There are no cursors, or zoom
    capabilities, and so on in Excel.
    Using a graph in LV is very slow when loaded down with this much data.
    Frankly a scope is easier for viewing waveforms. A scopelike utility
    for Windows?
    MathCAD?
    Is there any neat shareware out there?
    Thanks for your opinion,
    Mike

    There are a large number of analysis packages on the market that can display very large datasets. The one to choose depends largely on the nature of the data and what you want to do with it after you have loaded it in. Wandering down the software aisle at your local Staples you will find at least two or three.
    With datsets the size you are contemplating, a major feature to look for is a zoom function that initially shows the entire waveform but lets you narrow in on the data you want to see.
    DIGRESSION ALERT
    Actually, this sort of algorithm isn't to hard to code. I wrote a viewer once that allowed you to view datasets of arbitrarily large size (in V3 I think... though it may have been in V4). The code initally presented an overview of the entire dataset
    by decimating it down to a size that LV could display rapidly. As the user zoomed in using the cursors (not LV's graph zoom) the code would extract the selected portion of the data, redecimate it if necessary and redraw the display. (Which by the way is all the fancy packages really do anyway.)
    The tricky part is selecting a decimation function that retains the overall shape of the data.
    ENDOF DIGRESSION
    Several years ago I wrote an article for a magazine (Personal Engineering and Instrumentation News) that dealt with graphing packages that could handle a million datapoints at that time (late eighties) there were over a dozen programs--and they were all better than Excel...

  • How can I make the screen view larger in numbers?

    I'm working a large spreadsheet and the screen shot is so small. In Excel I could always choose to view the spreadsheet at more than 100%. Can I do this somewhere in numbers? I cannot find it anywhere.

    Numbers User Guide clearly explain how to do what you want but you must read it to get the info !

  • Why can't I get the image to view larger when you click on a thumbnail?

    I thought that there was a way to have the image open up larger in a new little window when you click the thumbnail on a photos page....when I click a thumbnail on my photos page it takes me right to slideshow view and the images are displayed too small to see fine detail (I am a retoucher, so my clients need to be able to see hi res images) I can't find a way to change the size of the slideshow images or to get my thumbnails to click open to a hi res version in a new window. The only solution I can think of is to use a blank template page, make each small image a link to a hidden page with the image at hi resolution....but this would take forever and I would have a gazillion pages on my site that way. Any idea how to get around this. Seems like the older version of iweb didn't have this problem...????
    (for an example of what I mean, my site: http://www.katesilsby.com (retouch page) and what old iweb did and what I want to happen: http://web.mac.com/vogier/iWeb/vivian%20ogier/wardrobe.html

    iWeb2 photos page is completely different from that of iWeb1.
    iWeb2 photos page can be retro back to iWeb1, but not without major javascript coding.

  • Unable to View Large Files

    We're having a recurring issue where users start getting 'cannot access the file' error messages when trying to view documents in document libraries, it'll start with the larger files (over 10mb) and spread eventually to all documents in all libraries. On
    the client side it looks as if the download is being interrupted or timing out after about 10 seconds (though the limit is set at 6min). 
    The only thing that appears to fix the issue is a complete reboot of the server. Something we're not keen on doing multiple times a day. 
    No error messages or warnings in the server logs and we don't appear to be hitting any thresholds. 
    Any ideas?

    It was some time ago since I had to tackle this problem, but I think my article at
    http://www.loisandclark.eu/Pages/largefiles.aspx will provide some insights.

  • Network Error viewing large pdf

    I'm running into problems trying to use the Adobe Reader plugin for IE to view some large PDFs in the browser window. Apparently, the PDF fails to completely download to the browser. I've seen two slightly different behaviors:
    1) When IE tries to view one of these PDFs, it will display a Loading progress bar. Usually, the progress bar will just stop before getting too far. For example: "Loading 832.5 KB/16.91MB". Attempting to view the same file again will result in similar behavior - stopping at a different place on the progress bar. Repeating this will eventually result in IE displaying a page that indicates a connection problem: "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".
    2) Viewing the PDF in the browser will display the Loading progress bar, but before it completes, this message is displayed by Adobe Reader: "A network error occurred while accessing this document on the Internet. Would you like to close the document or reload it?"
    Clicking the reload button then yields this error: "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem.
    Repeating the view attempt a few times eventually gives the same general IE error page described in scenario 1.
    Scenario 1 seems to occur when the request is sent to a server that is sitting behind firewalls, load balancers, etc. The second condition happens when I'm using servers in the lab where there is nothing between my client and the server, other than a switch.
    This only occurs when using HTTPS. If configure the server to use HTTP, then the PDF will always be viewed. This has restricted my ability to watch the traffic between the client and the server with a packet analyzer.
    This only occurs with the IE plugin. Using Chrome and Firefox with the Adobe Reader plugin works every time.
    It only seems to be occurring on large PDF files: the files I've been working with are all 10MB or larger.
    I tried disabling the "fast web view" option in Adobe Reader, but this didn't seem to have any effect on the problem.
    I disabled the option to display a PDF file in the browser window, and then the PDF file will be downloaded and opened properly in the Adobe Reader application. So it only happens with the PDF is displayed in the browser window.
    I've been running my tests using IE 9 (9.0.8112.16421) and Reader plugin 10.1.3, but I've had reports from customers of similar behavior from earlier versions of the browser and reader. The web server is IIS 7.
    I found several PDFs on the internet with which I've duplicated the problem. Here's an example PDF file that shows this problem.
    http://www.nbb.be/DOC/BA/PDF7MB/2010/201009400082_2.PDF
    There are many other similar sized files at this site:
    http://www.nbb.be/pub/03_00_00_00_00/03_02_00_00_00/03_02_04_00_00.htm?l=en
    many of which will also reproduce the error. However, because the problem only happens when going over HTTPS, I had to download the files and import them into my system which uses HTTPS to see the problem.
    Any help would be appreciated. I'm not sure what to look at next.

    There are several resources that show how this is done. See here for an example: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/46c5ddfy(v=vs.100).aspx
    I've added an entry into web.config to identify the presence of a custom handler:
    <system.webServer>
      <handlers>
        <add name="PDFHandler" verb="*" path="*.pdf" type="PDFHttpHandler" />
      </handlers>
    </system.webServer>
    Then in our application code I defined a new class :
    Public Class PDFHttpHandler
    Implements IHttpHandler
    Public ReadOnly Property IsReusable() As Boolean Implements System.Web.IHttpHandler.IsReusable
      Get
        Return False
      End Get
    End Property
    Public Sub ProcessRequest(ByVal context As HttpContext) Implements System.Web.IHttpHandler.ProcessRequest
      Select Case context.Request.HttpMethod
        Case "GET"
          If file.exists(context.Server.MapPath(context.Request.FilePath)) Then
            Dim requestedFile As String = context.Server.MapPath(context.Request.FilePath)
            SendContentTypeAndFile(context, requestedFile)
          Else
            context.response.statuscode = 404
          End If
        Case Else
          context.response.statuscode = 404
      End Select
    End Sub
    Private Function SendContentTypeAndFile(ByVal context As HttpContext, ByVal strFile As String) As HttpContext
              context.Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
              context.Response.AppendHeader("Accept-Ranges","none")
              ' The web.config file sets the "x-ua-compatible" header to "ie=edge". This has an unfortunate side
              ' effect of casuing problems when we use IE to view PDF files.
              ' So for PDF files, we will try to override that header value.
              context.Response.AppendHeader("X-UA-Compatible", "")
      context.Response.TransmitFile(strFile)
      context.Response.end()
      Return context
    End Function
    End Class
