Hi Tom,
Numbers 11.1 supports the following features (at least on my installation):
• Edit>Copy after selecting one worksheet/tab
• Copy Sheet from the contextual menu after right-clicking a worksheet/tab
• Paste Sheet from the contextual menu after having copied a worksheet/tab (you
have to select an existing worksheet/tab before right-clicking)
• drag-selecting multiple tables within a worksheet/tab
It does not support the following features (at least on my installation):
• shift-clicking to select multiple worksheets/tabs
• dragging over multiple worksheets/tabs to select them
• Edit>Paste after copying a worksheet/tab (the menu item is dimmed)
• Edit>Paste and Match Style after copying a worksheet/tab (the menu item is
dimmed)
Puzzling that pasting a worksheet/tab is supported from the contextual menu,
but not from the menubar’s Edit menu.
Even more puzzling…Excel’s Edit>Paste and Edit>Paste Special menubar items and
contextual menu items are dimmed after copying a Number worksheet/tab. Excel
does support pasting a column of cells copied from a Numbers table.
Regardless, the unsupported feature which I need the most is copying and
pasting multiple worksheets/tabs (from one Numbers file to a brand-new one).
Is this achievable via AppleScript?
Barry
