In order to help answer a question on AppleInquiry.com, I put together a quick video on how to select a table in Numbers in order to set its border properties.

It’s short, has no audio, and will be totally irrelevant to most of you. Some of you, however, may find it useful, so I am posting it here:

One of the most frequently asked questions on the Apple Numbers Discussion forums is how to rotate text (for instance, make the text vertical). This is a common function in Excel, but unfortunately, it is not available in Numbers ’08.

However, while you cannot rotate text in-cell, you can use a hack that will give you the same visual experience when the document is printed.

As a first on Numbers Templates, I recorded a short video demonstrating how to rotate a text box. It was a fairly easy process to create, so if the reaction is positive, I will record and share more tutorials.
