Numbers 4.1.1

Numbers 4.1.1 menu is grayed out so I can't edit or activate "arrange" tool.

Menus instead of action? It seems nearly every time I click on the + to add a new tab, or on the Forward or Reverse buttons, or on apps in the Dock, instead of just doing any of those actions, I get instead a dropdown menu!! I just want the new tab to open, or to go back to the previous one, forward to the next one, or the app I clicked on, to just open!! And sometimes clicking doesn't register, or grabbing the side rails won't move the position of the screen, or scrolling won't happen! I have to do something else, then try again, for it to finally do what I need doing. Why is this happening so often??

Hi Herb,

Have you selected one or more objects to be "arranged"?

already was unlocked, I then put my cursor into the cell and clicked: F2/to edit. Thanks again!
