tabs left side of table as in former versions?

Hi Steve,

Numbers '09 (Numbers 2) had the Sheet tabs down the left:

Numbers 3 has the Sheet tabs across the top (with contextual menus revealed by the down triangle (the "v")

I find that two-fingure scrolling in the Numbers 3 Sheet (Tab) bar is faster than clicking through the right/left arrows

Left/right arrows are slow.

Three-figure dragging is a quick way to shove little-used Sheets to the right, leaving important Sheets to the left.

SG has created an Applescript to produce a vertical list of sheets.

Sending my reply now before the forum software logs me out 🙂.

Regards,

Ian

Hi Steve,

Check out this discussion and SG's automator sevice to bring back that functionality.

I wish it was still down the left. You could see all your sheets and all your tables listed, or collapse it to just the sheets. No scrolling or scripts required. You could click on a particular table on a particular sheet to select it. Across the top all you can see the first few sheets and not the tables (until you click) and you have to scroll to see more. It works okay if your spreadsheet is a sheet or two with one table per sheet but it is so much less useful than the old way. But get used to it, it is highly unlikely the old way will be brought back.
