Apple keeps the updates coming with new versions of Keynote (version 4.0.1), Pages (version 3.0.1) and Numbers (1.0.1). The description of each is typically cryptic. According to Apple...To find out what version of Mac OS you are running, go to the Apple logo in the top left corner, click it and choose About This Mac. From that window you will see the version number, processor, memory and chosen startup disk. Clicking Software Update will check for updates, and More Info... will open up an extensive list of everything on your machine.

I truly hope they fixed some of the performance issues with Numbers: 1.0 is so slow on my existing data that it is nearly unusable.

looks like iweb 2.0.2 just went up as well.

coyotej: nope, Numbers are still unusable. Still waiting for 1.1 (or, better, for Microsoft Office 2008)

Numbers is unusable? Funny, it seems to start fine on my system.
Yep, just started fine.
Seriously folks, unusable means it won't start. Say "it runs slow" if that's what you really mean.

Big John, you simply have a different semantic definition of "unusable." If it crashes often is it considered "unusable" too? I can start all sorts of applications, but their utility is paramount to their usability. If I can't get work done with it because it crashes or takes excruciatingly long to load/modify documents, and alternative products offer an /overwhelmingly/ greater level of productivity, then I don't think it's unfair to characterize Numbers as "unusable" in some context, that context most specifically being in working with moderate-to-large, existing spreadsheets.
If you understood what I meant (after all, I said it was slow), then there's no need to pick apart the meaning of a single word (which I, by extension, have bothered to do here, further wasting people's time ;).

I've been using Numbers intensively for the last three weeks, with a single document containing many sheets, each with at least one table and lots of shapes and styles and allsorts.
I've never had an issue with performance and, far from it being 'unusable' I've now found that I can't do without it.

#6 Yeah, that's what I was thinking too -- exactly.... I have more than fifteen sheets on one of my daily docs. Just isn't an issue and rescues one little piece of my world from Microsoft

Well, I have the same problems as Coyotej, maybe worst, because Numbers just show Beachball and do nothing whatever I am trying to do on them. So YES, they start, but writing one spacebar and hitting enter crash them down. So well, that's what I call "unusable".

So I am using Pages to create a newsletter and I am trying to put a border around my text, but there is a limited number of different styles of borders or picture frames. Is there a place where I can download more border styles?
