lol so it is not just me then Riccardo, I am finding the same problems with Numbers. Shame really, as it could be quite a nice app.
If MS Office was accessible, I would buy it within a heart beat. Most of my work resolves around using MS Office on Windows, but for everything else, I try to use my Mac instead, as I much prefer the Mac. I love Microsoft Word, Excel, and even don't mind Outlook, I have also now started using Access. Power point is a bit hit and miss with me. The thought of being able to run these apps on my Mac would mean I could quite happily give my employer my Windows laptop back.
