Hi Dennis,
Numbers 3.2. Menu > File > Export To > Excel...
That will create an Excel copy on your machine. Send it to your Excel friends. They will find that every object (table, graph, text box) will appear on a separate sheet in Excel. That just how it works.
Numbers will open an Excel document and you can edit. But be aware that continued conversion to and fro between Numbers and Excel is not perfect. Glitches will build up. If your Excel friends blame Mac, tell them that the problem belongs with Microsoft. Excel does not in any way recognise a Numbers document!
Regards,
Ian.
