select cells numbers with applescript

If you can copy that one image to the system clipboard (I did that by opening the image in Preview and choosing Edit > Copy from the menu) then the script below should do what you want.

Just add additional cell names to the list as needed.

SG

-- copy image to system clipboard before running

set tgtCellNames to {"A1", "A16", "A31", "A46", "A61"}

repeat with aName in tgtCellNames

pasteImgToCell(aName)

end repeat

to pasteImgToCell(cellName)

tell application "Numbers"

tell the first table of the active sheet of document 1

set selection range to cellcellName

activate

tell application "System Events" to keystroke "v" using command down

end tell

end tell

end pasteImgToCell

It's easy to select cells with AppleScript but one needs to know the document, sheet, and table.

As for setting the background, that can't be done with AppleScript, though it might be possible to paste an image in.

Perhaps you could give more details of what you are trying to do, and why you need to do it using a script.

SG

Is it one background image for all those cells, or is it a different background image for each cell?
