Elance for mac stuff? convert XLS - Numbers and make it look good

I often use elance.com for small projects. I have a project to convert some XLS sheets to Numbers. One of the main purposes is to make it look better, so I need a consulant who not only knows how to use numbers but understands design.
is there a group like elance but more mac focused...in order to get bids? or a few groups i should look at for small projects like this?
Also, as an aside, has anyone made a plug in for Excel so it can import numbers and actually work like numbers (ie, i know i can covert numbers to excel, but i really wish numbers was also available on the PC, barring that at least some plug in or somthing close?)

There is no Excel plugin available to decipher Numbers documents.
Given the past behaviour of M…Soft, I would be surprised if they offer one some day.
Apple always made a serious work to allow its customers to import/export M…Soft created files but there was no effort of this kind in the other world.
I would be surprised too if a Window version of Numbers was delivered one day.
Apple development resources aren't large enough to allow them to waste these resources on such a project.
At this time, it seems that they have some difficulties to maintain the two versions (mac and iPad) of iWork applications so, it would be very bad news for users of these products if they move some engineers on such a new task.

  • What is BDI or BDS spelled out? Jabber for Mac 9.2(1) Installation and Configuration Guide

    I’m spending the day catching up on Jabber/IM&P release notes across the server/clients.
    So I’m used to EDI and UDS, but we have a new acronym in the Jabber for Mac 9.2(1) Installation and Configuration Guide called BDI and BDS. However they don’t define what BDI stands for other than BDI is LDAP for non-windows
    Clients and suggests it should be used for Jabber for Mac.
    What is BDI or BDS spelled out? Something directory integration, but what is the B ?
    Then to add to the mix they reference BDS which sounds like the old UDS (is UDS changing to BDS?)
    How can Jabber get any more confusing…
    I also noted in the  Jabber Video for iPad 9.3.4 release notes that Apple is removing the Always Connect option in the near future. Manually launching Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client before making a call. This is going to upset some customers who like how Lync uses https and just works from anywhere with enhanced directory integration…

    Basic Directory Integration. It's not new, we had it in the Windows clients as far back as CUPC. The distinction got introduced when EDI was introduced, relying on Windows ADSI APIs instead of the client making a native LDAP bind.
    To my knowledge BDI/BDS are the same thing; I'm guessing S is 'service'. UDS remains unchanged.
    I also noted in the  Jabber Video for iPad 9.3.4 release notes that Apple is removing the Always Connect option in the near future.
    Well, they lost a patent infringement lawsuit and chose to change the functionality instead of pay the troll. That's not Jabber's fault. Collaboration Edge will be the way to avoid this in the near future.

    Hypesuh I would recommend reviewing both Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html and Creative Cloud app doesn't open and hangs on spinning progress wheel - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-app-doesnt-open.html as it appears both documents are applicable towards the difficulties which you are currently facing.

  • I just installed the new firefox for Mac OSX 10.6.8 and when I select an image on a site (right click and copy) and paste in Photoshop 5.5, the image lightens. It does not do this in Safari.

    Question
    I just installed the new firefox for Mac OSX 10.6.8 and when I select an image on a site (right click and copy) and paste in Photoshop 5.5, the image lightens. It does not do this in Safari.

    Firefox, Safari, and PhotoShop each handle embedded color profiles differently. For an add-on that makes it easier to experiment with Firefox's color management options, you might be interested in: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/color-management/ Color Management :: Add-ons for Firefox]. I haven't tried it myself.

    Hi Anne,
    Did you do this through one of the Office app updates, or did you download it directly from the Microsoft website?
    Whichever way you tried it, I would try it the opposite way this time, although simply repeating what you did before may also work.

  • Update in my Mac App Store. It is Angry Birds for Mac. Not my app and the Apple ID that it is registered to is not mine. Can't Delete it. Any ideas

    Update in my Mac App Store. It is Angry Birds for Mac. Not my app and the Apple ID that it is registered to is not mine. Can't Delete it. Any ideas

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove may not be the one named in the update notice. For example, the App Store could prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app could be "Final Cut Pro." Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
              File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
              Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
              Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
              Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    3. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    4. At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    5. Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • Question to everyone: Which browser for Mac is the fastest one and why ?

    _*Questions to everyone:*_
    *Which browser for Mac is the fastest one and why ?*
    *Have you found any tricks to make Safari faster ?*
    *Have you found any tricks to make Webkit, Firefox or Google Chrome faster ?*
    Thanks for your participation and helping others enjoying speed like you !

    HI,
    Which browser for Mac is the fastest one and why ?
    Safari. But as with any browser, speed depends on what type of internet connection have, high speed being the fastest.
    Have you found any tricks to make Safari faster ?
    Empty the cache, Reset Safari, delete WebpageIcons.db from ~/Library/Safari
    A lean machine runs faster and better performance. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.*
    Have you found any tricks to make Webkit, Firefox or Google Chrome faster ?
    Same for any browser. Empty the cache often, clear the history.
    Information here regarding Safari's web kit. The WebKit Open Source Project
    Cisco is changing going to have an impact on internet speeds. http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/191125/newcisco_router_supports_322tbps_designed_for_internetvideo.html

    I have photoshop cs6 for mac but I would like to make one of my 2 seats installed on my PC, how would I get another serial number since this one is just for mac?

    Hi Matthew,
    Perpetual products which use serial numbers are platform specific. You will not be able to use the same serial on a windows machine.
    In order to use Photoshop on both Windows and Mac you will have to go for a creative cloud subscription.
    Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums
