Having browsed the web it seems these features only apply if a certain cell/column is chosen but before I give up I wanted to ask you fellow iPad users who very often seem to have more inside than official mags out there.
I'm still new to the iPad. I'm having some difficulty understanding the question you're asking. Somebody else might understand exactly what you mean but can you be a little more specific?
I have the same problem - in the ipad numbers app, when viewing a spreadsheet (not editing a cell), I cannot see the row numbers or column letters. Is there any way to turn these on?
