Arrow keys and backspace key not working

First off i have already have tried 3 different keyboards with the same results. suddenly the up, down, left and right arrows do not work within Numbers, Pages and Keynote, also the backspace key can only be used once then when depressed again acts like the enter key. I have tried opening a new file with no success. This is on my PC with windows 10

Windows, Windows 10

Ummm... I think you are confusing either operating systems, or programs.


This support area is for the iWork suites Numbers Spreadsheet program made by Apple. The program only runs on Macs, not Windows 10.


Can you please clarify if you are using a mac, if so versions of operating system and software please.


If this is not for a mac, then the program must be something other than iWork, which would most likely be microsoft Office. there are other resources online like this one for MS Office related questions.

I don't use the web version either but do often refer users to it when they are using older OS & iWork version on their Macs & have a file that was saved on a newer version or iOS device.


It's not unusual to get questions for the specific iWork apps for iOS in the "…for Mac" forums since there is only a generic iWork for iOS forum, not forums for the individual apps. The same applies to iWork for iCloud. The iWork for iOS forum often gets general iWork for Mac questions as the reverse is true - no generic iWork for Mac forum. I usually ask for those questions to be moved to Pages for Mac as it would get more traffic although lately it seems Numbers for Mac gets more.


Because of this confusion I have asked the hosts for years to add these forums & have been met with the usual "we'll look into it" or the more common no response at all.
