Hi. Newbe to ipad and have tried to read all posts on this BB but not getting anywhere fast. I have purchased numbers app and have transfered some files from my PC to the Ipad. But when I open them on numbers I cannot find the tool bars in the numbers app. Even when I open a new spread sheet no tool bars appear. In the operating distructions they show a pic with all the tool bars and explanations. Can anyone put me out of my misery? Or am I just dumb? Thanks in advance

Double tap a cell and he number pad will pop up. The tool bar is a above the keypad where it shows "42", a clock, "T" and "=." Tap the "=" and you'll see keys for functions, text, calendar and logical entries. That's all the tools I've been able to find. I haven't sorted out how to format fonts yet. Still working at it.

Thanks guys I had that info and have used them and have been playing with them. I found from an APPLE site a help for Numbers08 which shows different tool bars and was trying to get that to come up on the version that I have just downloaded. The " Numbers Window" was on page 20 of Numbers 08 PDF File for the ipad. This page looks similar to a MS Exel layout with all the options shown on top of the spread sheet. Has numbers changed ? Dont know how to find out what yersion I have.
Thanks for your input thus far.

Numbers 08 is an OSX program for Macs, Numbers for iPad is a much cut down version designed to run on iOS so the guide you have will not be a great deal of use to you.
