Opening an Existing Spreadsheet
You can open an iWork ’08 or iWork ’09 spreadsheet. To take advantage of new
features, save iWork ’08 spreadsheets in iWork ’09 format. To let iWork ’08 users access
your spreadsheet, save it in iWork ’08 format.
When you open an iWork ’09 spreadsheet that’s password-protected, you need to type
the password in the Password field before you can view the spreadsheet contents.

Here are ways to open an existing spreadsheet:
To open a spreadsheet from the Template Chooser, click “Open an Existing File” in the
m
Template Chooser window, select the document, and then click Open.
To open a spreadsheet you’ve worked with recently, choose it from the Open Recent
pop-up menu at the bottom left of the Template Chooser window.
To open a spreadsheet when you’re working in one, choose File > Open, select the
m
spreadsheet, and then click Open.
To open a spreadsheet you’ve worked with recently, choose File > Open Recent and
choose the spreadsheet from the submenu.
To open a Numbers spreadsheet from the Finder, double-click the spreadsheet icon or
m
drag it to the Numbers application icon.
If you see a message that a font or file is missing when you open a spreadsheet, you
can still use the spreadsheet. Numbers lets you choose fonts to substitute for missing
fonts. Or you can add missing fonts by quitting Numbers and adding the fonts to your
Fonts folder (for more information, see Mac Help). To make missing movies or sound
files reappear, add them to the spreadsheet again.
