Three Numbers questions:how do you change the auto default background or fill color from white to another color to use in multiple succeeding operations?  what is the formula to express the ratio of two numbers as a percent?

Numbers questioons:
-how do I change the automatic default background fill color so it stays a non white color?
-what is the formula to express the ratio of two numbers as a percentage?
-how do I create a signal formula to be sue against an entire column of data (for example, if I wanted to multiply the each cell in the column by the number 10)?
-I have created a spreadsheet in Numbers with header and rows labelled and it contains formulas as well.  I now want to create a new 'blank' of this template with same header and row names and formulas, but without the cell entries from my earlier exerciser so I can use again in the future. How do I do this?

Hi Matt,
For short columns, the easiest method is to select the cell containing the formula, then grab the fill handle (small circle at the botom right of the selected cell) and drag down.
For long columns, use either Jerry's suggestion (copy/paste) or Insert > Fill > Fill Down.
Copy/Paste:
Select the cell containing the formula. Copy
Select from the cell containing teh formula to the end of the column. Paste.
Fill Down:
After entering the formula, and pressing enter...
Click on the column reference tab to select the whole column.
Command click on each cell above the one containing the formula to remove it from the selection.
When cell with the formula is the top cell in the selection, go Insert > Fill > Fill Down.
Pick whichever is easiest.
Regards,
Barry

    how do you change orientation of pdf file to fill and sign?

    Adobe Fill & Sign does not yet have a feature to rotate PDF pages but there are several websites that will rotate a PDF for free and then you can bring that PDF with correct orientation into Fill & Sign to fill out.  Any of the top hits when you google "rotate PDF free" will work.
    Thanks,

  • For the security questions, how do you change them without answering them? Because I totally forget mine.

    How do you change the security questions without answering them because I totally forget my answers to them.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • If you know your password to iTunes but forgot your sercurity questions how would you change them?

    If you know your password to iTunes but don't know your sercurity question answers how do you change them?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
        1.    Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
        2.    If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
        3.    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

  • If you have forgotten your security question how can you change them?

    Have not had to use this option so I really have forgot all about setting this up till the other day.. But when this come up that I did have to use I found out I forgot what I had use.. Stupid me.. Any way I did get my password rest and thought changing this would be simple inside my account.. Wrong... Appears you have also know your old one to change it.. Now this is so stupid.. I don't want to have to pay for support to have apple to reset this option.. Does any one know if Apple has a Email support to help with issue like this.. I may never need this option again but really it was a pain to get around it.
    Thanks Everyone

    Contact Apple, they can reset the security question infomation and you shouldn't need to pay for support on this. There is no troubleshooting your paying for, you're just having assistance for account security

  • FCPX: When applying the keyer to green screen, is there a way to change the resulting color from black to another color (cream, blue, etc)?

    Currently working on a project where I shot various video tributes in front of a green screen.  When using the keyer in FCPX, the resulting image is represented by a black background instead of a green one.  I'd like to change that color to blue, tan or something else so that when I apply a picture in a portion of the background, the remaining background looks fine.  More specifically, I plan to put images over the right shoulder of each person in the video.  The image will only take up about 1/4 of the background and the rest of it currently just looks like a black screen.   Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Tom now I have another follow-up.  So i have the original green screen with the keyer applied which, emptied the background.  Now I've applied a color generator below that in the timeline and it generates a color.  How do I now go back and add the photo in the upper right corner of the clip?  Ultimatly the goal is to have the subject, with the color backdrop and a photo above their right shoulder.

  • QUESTION - How do you change document to Tablet (11"x17") size

    I've looked in the Inspector and don't see tablet or 11"x17" as a size option. I couldn't find it searching in the Help program either. I know this is possible, I just can't seem to find out how to do this. Anyone know ho to change the document size to 11"x17"??

    The Inspector lacks the ability to modify Custom Page Sizes. This feature is only available through the Page Setup... menu item. If Apple does not include that as part of the File Menu, they are not following their own standards which causes inconsistencies between applications.
    (A similar issue has been in iCal for some time now, except that iCal only allows setup options through the Print... option. It doesn't even allow you to change orientations, but that is a different discussion.)
    The point is that the Inspector does not provide the same functionality as Page Setup theoretically would.

  • How do you change Metro apps default install location?

    I can't seem to find an answer for this any ware, I have a 120gb ssd drive that I use for my os, and some programs. I have another 1.5tb drive that has most of my applications and data. Since space is kind of limited on my ssd drive, I would
    like to change the default install location for metro apps (Microsoft store apps, or what ever it's called) to point to my larger hard drive. I don't see a way of doing this myself, so I figured I would ask here. I also work for a company that
    sells custom built computers, and this is a very popular setup, but I can see this quickly becoming a problem with this type of setup. Any help would be greatly appreciated :D

    Here is what I did. I must warn that I haven't had any issues on my own machine doing this, but you might, so proceed with caution. Also, it's always a good idea to create a restore point before
    starting.
    1. Create a folder on your other drive that you want the applications to install to. I used the same location on my system, only on the other drive. 
    2. Now open up regedit, and go to this location. 
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx
    3. Now right click on the "Appx" folder, and go to "Permissions"
    4. Click "Advanced", and click "Change" at the top to change the owner.
    5. Type in "Administrators" for the owner, and click ok, then ok again.
    6. This should take you back to the regular permissions window. From here make sure "Administrators" or your user name have "Full Control", and click ok.
    7. Now double click on "PackageRoot", This should bring up the String Editor.
    8. Change the "Value Data" to the new folder you created, and hit ok, and close the registry editor.
    9. Lately, give your machine a reboot, and you should be all set.
    Give me a click if you found this helpful :D 
    I
    did this to no avail.  I am getting error message "this app couldn't be installed" error code 0x80073cfd.
    I
    am doing this on a Windows Surface RT.  Here is what I did:
    1. refreshed Surface to original setup
    2. uninstalled all preinstalled metro apps (could not uninstall store and IE)
    3. updated all windows updates (there's 3 and they are time consuming)
    4. Created the same folders on my SD Card (\Program Files\WindowsApps\)
    5. took ownership over appropriate registry item (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx)
    6. Changed the drive letter for the "PackageRoot" (from C to D on my device)
    7. Shut down (full shut down) and restarted my device
    When I got back in, I tried to install the metro apps and I got the above error.
    Any thoughts as to why?

  • Very simple question, how do you configure windows 8.1 to use a SF card as the default install location for software applications?

    Very simple question, how do you configure windows 8.1 to use a SD card / external drive as the default install location for software applications? Primarily interested in apps installed from the windows store. This should be available in the settings
    charm within the windows store. This must have been overlooked in the development of windows 8.1 or is a bug.

    The registry method does not work with 8.1.  I found this out the hard way.  Doing it on 8.1 will leave you reinstalling the OS if you didn't do a SRP beforehand.

  • How do you change the Spell Check language

    I have a question, how do you change the spell check language so that it spell checks in a different language... such as French?

    Here is a copy of an e-mail that I sent to Yvan asking about this (translated from French):
    +Hello Yvan,+

  • How do you change the y axis value in numbers

    Hi
    relatively new to numbers. How do you alter axis value and set minimum, maximum values an step values in numbers
    Cheers

    Hi CA,
    Did you really intend to post this Numbers question in the Pages forum?
    Axis values are set in the Axis section of the Chart Inspector:
    Select the chart.
    Default values are 4 steps and auto settings from data for the min and max values for each axis. The x axis is a Value axis only for a scatter chart. Otherwise it is a Category axis.
    To set Min, Max values and number of steps for either axis, click in the appropriate box, then either type the value or use the stepper (which apears) to step to your chosen value.
    The maximum number of steps is 10.
    Regards,
    Barry
