Getting Started with Numbers

Navigating from Cell to Cell

To navigate among cells, you can use the arrow keys. But as you’ve just seen, you can

also use the Tab and Return keys:

 Pressing Tab saves the value you just entered and then selects the next cell to the

right. For the last cell in a row, pressing Tab twice saves the value and adds a new

column.

 Pressing Return selects the next cell down. If you’ve been using the Tab key to

navigate among cells, pressing Return selects the next cell down from the cell in

which you started tabbing.

For the last row in a table (if there’s a footer row, the last row is the row above the

footer row), pressing Return adds a new row. For the last cell in the last row,

pressing Return twice saves the value and adds a new row.

Note: If your table contains a lot of text, you might want to change what happens

when you press the Tab and Return keys. For information, see Numbers Help or the

Numbers User’s Guide.
