    I got an email saying that SGIII had replied, but I can't see the reply at the moment in order to reply.

     

    In case it's gone, here's the part I want to reply to:

     

    "I'm always puzzled when people say scripts aren't convenient to use. They can be installed in your menu so using them is just as convenient as built-in functionality that is accessed via the menu."

     

    Yes, I can do it, but the fact that it needs to be done. A simple, well-known feature that's not included - oversight. Plus, I do *everything* via keyboard, if at all possible. So, not only do I have to install the script, I have to assign it to a keystroke. Again, very possible, but .... really?

     

    And the last part of this problem is this..... while I am capable and even willing to install/use scripts, my clients are not as tech-y as I am. These are the people who still use the mouse to click on the Edit menu and then select Copy, Cut or Paste instead of using keyboard. So, this "solution" is not a solution, but a work-around, which will not work for everyone. And if I ever go to someone else's computer to work in Numbers, I'll be missing a feature that I've gotten used to.

     

    I prefer to use only the included features of a given program. So that no matter what computer I use it on, the functionality is the same.

     

    Accessing something from the menu is not convient, in my humble opinion.

    If you have the technical expertise to post in these discussions then you have the expertise to install a script and assign a keyboard shortcut to it. It's easy and quick; takes just a minute or two.

     

    You can easily set it up so clients just double-click to install in their menus.
