Numbers '09 Demo

Also Included in the latest edition of Apple's office suit called iWork is Numbers '09. There is not much to cover in this demo although there are a few things.


They have added a new and better way to manage the formulas and how you can use them. This includes a new inspector if you will that is devoted to the formulas. This allows you to see all of the formulas that are available to you with a simply category view. They also added a view that you can turn on in order for you to see what formulas you are using on a page and the information about them.


The next big thing that they added is a way to categorize your spreadsheets. For example if you are keeping a log of information for people in your company you could categorize the information by what section of the company they are in. This is a really innovative way for you to organize those large spreadsheets and not get confused.


They have also added a new capability so that when you copy a chart from Numbers to Pages it will stay in sync when you edit it in Numbers. This is a great way for you to stay sure that that chart you put in your document is up to date when you edit it on the spreadsheet.


Some of the other things to look of is the addition of more themes for you to work with along with more ways to share, including export options to PDF and Excel and of course sharing to iWork.com.

Should you upgrade? Well if you don't use Numbers very much or for anything to advanced then don't upgrade unless your are dying to upgrade. However if you use Numbers on a regular basis then UPGRADE for sure. Some of the features will save you so much time that it is well worth the $79.
