How do I set margins in Numbers, where did page set up go?

Since I have upgraded to Mavrick, everything has changed in Pages and Numbers, the main reason I left Microsoft was because of the constantly changing software with each update. The Inspector is gone and in Numbers the left hand column listing all my tables has disappeared/changed to a row which I have to continuously scroll through. Arrrrgh! Is there any way to get that back? Also . . . Can anyone tell me where I can find the Page set up or set margins in Numbers?

Hi 'cat,
It appears te main push behind the latest 'upgrade'to the iWork applications was to provide compatibility/similarity between the iOS versions and the Mac versions. A lot of features were lost in the change, some of which have made theri way back into Numbers 3, etc., others that are scheduled to be brought back, and still others for which there's been no indication.
Inspector functions are now handled via the formatting button (paint brush), as well as the button bar that appears when a cell is selected.
With the greater focus on iOS, features pertaining to printing to paper have been largely forgotten. There's no way I'm aware of to set document margins in Numbers 3.
The features you mention are still available in Numbers 2.3, which will, if you had it installed earlier, still be on your Mac. You'll find it in a folder named iWork '09, located in the Applications folder.
Any document you've opened in and saved from Numbers 3 will need to be re-opened in N3 and Exported as a Numbers '09 document before it can be opened in Numbers '09, and may be missing some features not supported in Numbers 3.
While its probably not a long-term solution, returnng to Numbers '09 may provide an interim fix while waiting for N3 to get the updates you need.
Meantime, add your voice to the rest requesting the reinstatement of any features you consider essential. Use the Provide Numbers Feedback item in the Numbers menu to make your request.
Regards,
Barry

How do I change margins in Numbers?

How do I change the page margins in the new version of Numbers?

If your workflow is heavily tied to traditional printing then the new Numbers 3 is not the best tool. It is more suited to collaboration and dynamic presentation on the iPad or on the web, where margins are irrelevant. It's not that iOS is dumb or can't handle margins. It's that there, unlike in print, the viewer can instantly adjust the zoom and surrounding whitespace as desired.
See this thread on workarounds for ideas on how to deal with some of Numbers 3.0's perceived deficiencies.
Anybody in the field with iPads will of course find Numbers a far better solution than Excel. Excel doesn't work on the iPad (yet).

Set margins, add footer to printed pages in Numbers 3?

How do I set top, bottom & side margins & add a header and/or footer with such things as filename & date to printed pages in Numbers 3? This capability was available in previous versions, & is available with the "Setup" icon in Pages. (This icon is missing in Numbers 3)

BW,
Apple thought you might not miss Page Headers and Footers if they left it out of the new version.
You can go back to Numbers 2.3 or you can use Pages 5.0 for your publication after doing your calculations in Numbers.

How do i change margins in numbers in 3.0.1

How do i change the margins. everything in printing off the page. Why would they take away margins and Print View

This is seriously stupd (sic) of Melody and extremely frustrating and unfriendly to the users in this forum either looking for or attempting to provide answers to others questions.
Seriously, Melody, these repeated posts do absolutel nothing to get you closer to a solution of your (Numbers) problem(s). Apple does not actively monitor these discussions. The users who are looking for answers gain nothing from your post. The users seeking to provide answers and checking updated threads get annoyed on reading repeated identical posts from a specific user (and tend to remember that name when there's a question to which they might have a useful answer).
Find somewhere else to release your frustrations, please.
If you want to complain to Apple, use the Provide Numbers Feedback to send your message directly to Apple, and request this feature be added/brought back.

Where is page set-up?

How do I set up a page (page size, margins, etc) in Numbers?

Bottom left corner of the workspace. Click the page icon indicated by the arrow to change page orientation (only).
For more choices, use the Inspector. Paper size is set in the Document Inspector (button to the left of the one highlighted in the image below); margins, etc. (including orientation) ar set in the Layout Inspector (image below):
Results will be seen only if you choose Show Print View in the View menu. With Print View hidden, page breaks, margins and headers and footers are not visible.

Got your email and couldn't clearly see what you were talking about because you reduced the resolution on a busy background. So I went to the iTunes Store to find if there was something similar.
That is the Facebook Pages Manager, and is telling you you have notifications pending in Facebook.
The Pages refers to the "pages" (different views) of content in Facebook, nothing to do with Apple's Pages.

Where did page up/down go?

I may be crazy, but if I remember correctly I could use fn up or down to page up or down on keynote (to move between slides from the canvas area without having to click on the navigator.
I'm going nuts with this, fn up/down doesn't seem to work anymore... I've tried everything - quitting keynote, opening different files, restarting my mac...
Any clues?
Thanks!

As stated earlier, if you deleted the photos from the phone prior to performing the backup, they were not backed up. As far as the content of the backup is concerned, it is on the computer, but the content cannot be accessed individually without the use of 3rd party software. The backup file is a special SQL data file used specifically for restoring the phone. The backup location differs depending on the computer operating system you use. See this support document for additional information. iTunes: About iOS backups

Changing margins in numbers

how do you change margins in numbers?

Actually you can change the margins. I cut-and-pasted this from another thread.
YellowboxApr 20, 2014 8:00 AMin response to Sammy Waldegrave | This helped me
Hi Sammy,
Numbers 3 has lost some features that were great in Numbers 2 (Print View and Layout View). Now we must use File > Print... > Print Setup. But it is now better in Numbers 3.2
Numbers 3.2 has restored some layout features. See the Print Setup panel on the right in Print Preview:
Drag the Print Setup panel up to see Page Margins settings.
Numbers has never had Page Breaks or Print Selection. That is an Excel requirement for Excel's huge sheets.
The Numbers approach is to use separate tables on a "canvas". Each table has a purpose. Input, database, number-crunching, summary. These tables can be on separate sheets. Print only the sheet that is your "presentation".
Regards,
Ian.

How to set page margins in numbers version 3.0?

How can I set document margins in Numbers version 3.0 ?

Hi Adj,
Many features have been lost in Numbers 3. You can send feedback to Apple with Menu > Numbers > Provide Numbers Feedback.
Features that Apple has promised to reinstate:

What has been lost in Numbers 3 is here (with corrections where Apple has already reinstated some lost features in the Numbers 3.1 update):

Numbers has never had Page Breaks. The Numbers approach is to have several tables, each with a purpose. For example, an input table, a number crunching table, and a "Presentation" table to summarise results.
If your quotation runs to six pages, perhaps you could have 6 tables designed so that each fits within a layout guide:
Layout Guide for Numbers
Option 2, if you previously had Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09) it now lives in a folder called iWork '09 inside your Applications folder. It works just as well as it used to, and has a proper Print View.
Option 3, copy and paste your table to Pages where I believe the layout is easier to arrange (maybe).

Ian.

How to set page margins in Numbers 3

I just migrated from MS Excel after decades of use. I can't find out how to set page margins using the new Numbers 3 version. I believe I've exhausted all reference materials and the most relevant was an method in Numbers 8 & 9... both of which have a different top menu selection. The answer is probably right in front of me and simple as it sometimes happens when learning new software...

Hi caforestfire,
There is no direct equivalent to page margins in Numbers 3.0. It's more oriented toward sharing on the web and on iPad screens than toward traditional printing.
However, there are ways to achieve the effect of margins. The idea is to first position your content (tables, charts, etc) on the canvas of a sheet, using rulers and guides if you want (you can drag the rulers onto the canvas to help in placement):
Then you File>Print and in Print Preview fiddle with the slider until you get the white space you want around your content:
Then click Print.
For many purposes it works quite well. It's just a different approach from what we're used to in Excel, and the old Numbers 2.3.

Hi Themonkeycode,
unless they moved it from where it use to be...
It has gone in Numbers 3.0 and Numbers 3.1. Maybe it will return in future versions. Please give feedback to Apple:

Downloading Numbers 3 did not replace Numbers '09. Unless you deleted it, it is in a folder called iWork '09 inside your Applications folder. It works just as well as it used to.
