How to downgrade to Numbers 2.x

I always loved all Mac programs. Like - unconditionally. All of them. Since I got my first Macbook, which was 8 years ago.
Except the one that I have to work on - Numbers 3.1., which is driving me really crazy!
Therefore I would be very grateful if somebody would explain me how to get rid of this s**t. I want my good old Numbers 2.x back.
(Beforehand I feel obliged to add that I always try to adapt first, customize as much as I can the software, get used to it, etc. It was 4 months of Numbers 3.1 used everyday and I am really, really convinced it's just badly designed software for kids, not suitable for working with... numbers.)
1. Very useful and frequently used option 'Merge cells' is moved out of the Inspector body and put it inside of the top menu (if you work in Full screen then it's annoying even more, because every time you have to wait 1 sec for revealing the top menu). And there is no keyboard shortcut.
2. Custom 'Data formating' is gone - you cannot add your own formating, for example weigth or any other formating that you use in a table. How annoying especially when you are working with little items that have weight and at the end you need to sum up their weight!
3. Preview of the sheet in Print mode and scaling it according to need. Now it's gone - Numbers knows better what you want. Well, not always.
I have more examples, but these three are major f**k ups that are too annoying to work longer.
I would be very grateful if someone can help me.

My previous Mabook is dead, but I still have iWork '06 on CD.
Can I then upgrade to iWork '09 anyhow?
Do you think that Apple Store can install iWork '09 free of charge?
It's possible that they will when you explain that the new computer won't open your old iWork files.

  • How do I set numbered lists for headings in Pages 5.2, and keep that system of numbered lists saved?

    I have tried to set numbered lists for headings in Pages 5.2 but have not succeeded. I have read similar questions concerning this but this has not helped me...
    When I say numbered lists I mean something extremely important and simple, for instance:
    1. Introduction
    1.1. Background
    1.2. Purpose and Questions
    2. The Legality of Clause X
    2.1. Legality under Article 101.1
    2.2. Legality under Article 101.3
    And so on...
    Heading 1. is selected as "Heading", 1.1 is selected as "Heading 2", and if I had 1.1.1 it would be selected as "Heading 3" and so on...
    I have navigated my way to the Format window, and under the tab "Style" and down to "Bullets & Lists". I have here selected the following: Numbered, Numbers, 1. 2. 3. 4., Tiered Numbers, Continue from previous.
    There are several problems with this currently.
    First, based on the example it becomes "2. Background" when it should be "1.1 Background" instead.
    Second, after writing some body text between the headings and then select a new heading, all the previously selected settings I mentioned above in "Bullets & Lists" have to be reselected.
    So, how do I set numbered lists for headings, or so called sub-headings, in Pages 5.2? And how do I keep that selected system of numbered lists saved so I don't have to retype it for every new heading I type? (e.g. so that Pages knows that every time I choose Heading 2, I want it to number the heading in the way selected)
    Obviously, manually writing the numbers for every heading is not a viable option, as it makes table of contents problematic and is simply tedious. You need an automatic way of doing it, especially if you write long documents where keeping headings in order is absolutely essential.
    Also, reverting back to previous Pages versions (like v. 9 I think?) is not an option as that does not exist on my recently purchased Macbook Pro.
    I need to be able to do this on Pages 5.2 and do it automatically.
    I appreciate any help with this.

    iWork '09 is not "outdated" it still works and works extremely well and whilst not perfect with MsWord it is far far better than Pages 5.2 which has a stream of major issues with exporting. It is also way better and faster to use than Microsoft Office.
    So what is your time and work actually worth? If it is less than $19.99 for 6 months, you may as well just chuck it in and take that job on minimum wages.
    You are assuming things for Office 2014 with absolutely no inside knowledge. Much as we assumed Pages 5 was going to be the long awaited improvement, but ended up being a downgrade to match the iOS version, Microsoft is headed the same way with their mobile versions.
    This is not like getting the "latest" pair of pants where you go with the crowd and throw out your cigarette legs which replaced the flares, which replaced your low cuts which replaced your cigarette legs, which replaced…
    This is work.
    If it does the job and does it well, use it. There is nothing out there to really match what Pages '09 does. Yet.
    LibreOffice can do most but not all, but has a UI that only a mother could love. It's great redemption is that it uses both open formats and the standard Microsoft formats and is under active development. It also opens and saves to just about everything. When they finally work out the Pages formats, I'm sure they will open those as well.
    I use a lot of professional software. Just because the publisher's marketing department says change the product so we can sell more, doesn't mean you have to pay any attention whatsoever. Adobe being a classical example. Most designers are just ignoring their latest subscription based bloatware and getting on with their work.

  • How to print page numbers in adobe form

    Hi,
    Can anybody tell me how to print page numbers in adobe form.
    Thanks in advance
    Chaitanya

    Hi,
    Yes the field page n of m is used normally for printing page numbers. But it won't display the current page of total pages by itself. You have to set the run time property to n (current page ) and m (Total number of pages). Carefully select the # (current page ) and ## (Total number of pages). Hope this works for you.
    My requirement is to have the user control on current page. For Example:
    Example for a Invoice with 5 PO items (stands on 2 pages) :
    1st  page is the letter : no page number
    2nd page is the 1st page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
    3rd page is the 2nd page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
    4th page is the 1st page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
    5th page is the 2nd page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
    Presently i cam getting the current page number for page 4th as 3 / 2 and for 5th page 4 / 2. I could able to control the total number of pages from print program. But when i am printing the second copy (4th and 5th pages), I couldn't able to control the current page number. I need to initialize the Current page count (4th page ) as 1.
    I have used the follwing java scripting:
    this.rawValue = wv_pages - xfa.layout.page(this)
    where wv_pages is total no of pages calculated from print program.
    Please help me in this regard with some formcal or java scripting conditions.
    Thank You,
    Regards,

  • Help needed I updated my ipad2 with iOS5 but few of my dashbaords are not working now can any one let me know how to downgrade the OS

    Help needed I updated my ipad2 with iOS5 but few of my dashbaords (HTML5) are not working now ,can any one let me know how to downgrade the OS as we have a meeting coming up .. its urgent

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported. If you are using Safari this try clearing its cache via Settings > Safari.
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • How to: Downgrade from OS 9.2.1 to OS 9.1 or Earlier

    Been looking everywhere for an answer...
    I have a PowerBook 2400c, won't boot into anything over OS 9.1. I have installed onto a hard drive OS 9.2.1 and now I have just learned it is not compatible with pre-G3 machines. I get an error message when trying to boot into OS 9.2.1 on the 2400c that the system is not supported, and it is overlayed the OS 9.2 Boot Window.
    Since I only have a full, retail OS 9.2.1 install CD, and nothing earlier, I am looking for a way to downgrade it to OS 9.1. I tried to just install the 9.1 update overtop the 9.2.1 system, but it will only install it overtop OS 9.0-9.0.4.
    By the way, and this is just for information, OS 9.2.1 is installed on a CF card. I boot my older machines with Systems installed on CF Cards: they are inserted into the PowerBooks via a PCMCIA/CF Card adapter. They all work great, and this is in no way a cause of the problem.
    So does anyone know how to downgrade OS 9.2.1 - OS 9.1 when one only has (1) Full OS 9.2.1 retail install CD (2) OS 9.1 Update Installer???
    Thanks.

    Move the card onto a system where it is usable, and then run the patched version of the 9.2.2 update on it. The Mac OS 9.1 updater can't downgrade a 9.2 or newer system; that capability requires a Mac OS 9.0 or 9.1 CD.

  • HOW DO I GET NUMBERS TO DO WHAT I WANT?

    HELP PLEASE:
    I  FIND NUMBERS  CONFUSING.  THE OLD WORKS SPREADSHEETS WERE SO MUCH EASIER/SIMPLER.
    I CAN’T SEEM TO GET THE FORMULAS & FUNCTIONS ENTERED CORRECTLY.
    I DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY MEAN “PRESERVE ROW” OR “PRESERVE COLUMN”.. SO DON’T KNOW IF I NEED TO CHECK
    ONE OF THEM OR NOT…AMONG OTHER THINGS.
    I’M TRYING TO MAKE A SPREADSHEET FOR TWO INVESTMENT ACCTS.
    ONE HAS A LARGE NUMBER OF STOCKS IN IT.
    THE SECOND HAS ONLY A FEW STOCKS BUT THEY ARE THE SAME STOCKS WHICH ARE IN THE FIRST ACCT. AS WELL.
    THAT MEANS MOST OF THE CELLS IN COLUMNS F & G (BELOW) WILL BE EMPTY.
    FOR THE PURPOSE OF MY EXAMPLE:
    “A ACCT“  WILL SHOW ONLY 4 STOCKS  & “B ACCT” WILL HAVE ONLY 2 STOCKS. I THINK THAT’S ENOUGH FOR YOU
    TO SEE WHAT I’M ATTEMPTING TO DO.
    LETS SAY THE COLUMN HEADINGS ARE:
      A                 B                          C                D                  E                             F                 G                           H
    SYM       DESCRIPTION       A ACCT#SH     CLOSE    A ACCT TTL VALUE     B ACCT#SH   B ACCT TTL VALUE   ACCTS A&B TTL
    I WANT TO MULTIPLY ACROSS EACH ROW      THE # SH    TIMES    THE CLOSE  — TWICE
    COL C  TIMES D SHOULD EQUAL E
    COL F  TIMES D SHOULD EQUAL  G
    THEN I’D LIKE TO ADD E + G AND HAVE THEIR TOTALS ENTERED IN COL H IN EACH ROW.
    ONCE ALL THAT’S DONE,  I’D LIKE COL. E TOTALED, COLUMN G TOTALED AND COL H TOTALED.
    FOR EXAMPLE:
         A             B                         C                 D                  E                          F                        G                         H
    1. SYM    DESCRIPTION       A ACCT#SH     CLOSE    A ACCT TTL VALUE     B ACCT#SH   B ACCT TTL VALUE    ACCTS A&B TTL
    2. XYZ     XYZ STOCK               200             25.00           $5,000.00              150                  $3,750.00           $8,750.00
    3. STU     STU STOCK               100             10.00           $1,000.00            
    4. PQR     PQR STOCK               500             20.00         $10,000.00             100                   $2,000.00         $12,000.00
    5. MNO    MNO STOCK              100             12.75           $1,275.00            
                                                                                    =SUM (E2:E5)                               =SUM (G2:G5)      =SUM (H2:H5)              
    I THINK I KNOW HOW TO WRITE THE FORMULAS TO TOTAL THE COLUMNS. I CHOOSE  “EDIT FORMULA” UNDER  “FUNCTION” AT
    THE TOP OF THE SPREADSHEET AND WRITE AS I’VE SHOWN ABOVE IN AN EMPTY CELL AT THE BOTTOM OF EACH COLUMN.
    IS THIS  CORRECT?
    WHAT I HAVEN’T FIGURED OUT IS HOW TO GET THE MULTIPLICATION DONE ACROSS THE ROWS OR THE ADDITION FOR COL. H
    I THINK I KNOW WHAT THE FORMULAS SHOULD BE  BUT DON’T KNOW HOW TO GET THEM ENTERED OR WHERE….
    I’M DOING SOMETHING WRONG BECAUSE  I GET ONLY ONE  NUMBER AT THE BOTTOM OF COLUMN E  INSTEAD OF MULTIPLYING
    ACROSS,  THEN TOTALING THE COLUMNS
    I THINK THOSE FORMULAS SHOULD BE:
    COL E  SHOULD BE:   =PRODUCT(C,D)         AND   COLUMN G  SHOULD BE: =PRODUCT(D,F )        AND COL H SHOULD BE: =SUM(E,G)
    CORRECT?  IF NOT PLEASE ADVISE WHAT THEY SHOULD BE.
    IF MY FORMULAS ARE CORRECT, HOW DO I GET NUMBERS TO DO IT?  PLEASE PRETEND YOU’RE SPEAKING TO A 5 YR OLD…..
    I’D SAY 1O YR OLD BUT THEY MAY BE MORE FAMILIAR WITH THE VOCABULARY AND HOW TO DO THIS THAN I AM.
    THANK YOU.

    It's incredibly hard to read a post when it's in ALL CAPS.
    But the answer to your question is copy and paste. When you have a cell that contains a formula, and you copy and paste it into another cell, firstly, the formula gets pasted, not the value, and second, the formula uses relative cell values. What that means is, if your formula in E2 is C2 * D2, and you copy and paste that cell value into E3, it will by default become C3 * D3. (You CAN change a formula to use absolute cell values if it suits your spreadsheet - when you edit the formula, the drop down for each cell number includes a value like $C2 which will not change when you paste it into a lower row.)
    by the way, it's usually faster just to use the equals sign when you enter a formula in a cell. eg, click into E2, press equals to start the formula, click into C2 to make that the first cell in the formula, type "*", then click into D2 and click the green tick to confirm the formula.

    ? how to add page numbers in pages 5.2, starting with page 2.  Pages '09 had an option to not show folio on page one.  Also any idea how to do left and right folios for a Tabloid?  Many thanks  . . .

    Hello jacquemac,
    Your first question:
    There might be a better way of achieving what you wish to do, but following these steps could help you out.
    You might want to blend in Thumbnails and Invisibles either with (cmd+shift+i and cmd+alt+p) or over the View section in the Menubar.
    1. go for Documents (right end of the Toolbar) -> Section
    2. place your cursor at the very top of your second page and click "Create new Section->Starting with this page" in the side bar on your right.
    (what you are actually doing next is setting the pagenumbers for each section you created. You can see your sections in the Thumbnail view.)
    3. click on your first page (the first and only page of your first section) and mark the checkbox "Hide on first page of section"
    4. click on your second page (the first page of your second section) and  "Insert page number" -> start at 1
    Your second question:
    Im not quite sure i understand what exactly you want to do here. One page, two columns, each column with another page number? As far as i know this is not possible.
    greetings jl

    How to add page numbers in Numbers?
    Is there a simple way like in Excel? Thanks.

    In Numbers '09, use Insert > Page Number
    Place the page number in a page header, and it will appear on each age when in Print View and when the file is prnted.
    May have changed in Numbers 3 (current version).

  • Using notes on iPad: how do I prevent numbers from being displayed as phone numbers?

    Using notes on iPad how do I enter numbers such that notes thinks that they are just numbers, not phone numbers, links, or calendar events?
    Example:
    Enter the line "Number: 00012345678".  The number is highlighted in yellow, tap it and I get the options to "Send Message", "Add to Contacts", or "Copy".
    Enter the line "Numlet: 9H". The "9H" is highlighted in yellow, tap it and I get the options to "Create Event", "Show in Calendar", or "Copy".
    I don't think this is an iOS 7 problem.

    Personally, I think that an App like AirWatch would be overkill for the average home user and form the very little bit that I know about the app, it would not make sense from a money standpoint - IMO anyway. I don't use any third party app to manage devices.
    I manage four iDevices in my iTunes library on my MacBook Pro. All four devices are mine, but all of them have their own unique content on them so it does take a little bit of extra attention to detail when I sync and make changes to the sync configuration. And because I share my Apple ID with my wife and daughter (who each have their own MBP laptops) every now and then I inadvertently download a previously purchased app that I didn't want (I delete more Disney apps than you can shake a stick at) and I scratch my head trying to figure out where that app came from.
    I guess what I'm trying to say is, again IMO - that you can get the hang of keeping everything separate without the purchase of an enterprise app, you just have to be a little more aware of what you are syncing, and pay a little closer attention to what's going on.
