Creating, Opening, and Importing Spreadsheets

When you create a new Numbers spreadsheet, you pick a template to provide its initial 
format and content. You can also create a new Numbers spreadsheet by importing a 
document created in another application, such as Microsoft Excel or AppleWorks.

To create a new Numbers spreadsheet, you pick the template that provides appropriate 
formatting and content characteristics.

Start with the Blank template to build your spreadsheet from scratch. Or select one of 
the many other templates to create a budget, plan a party, and more without having to 
do all the design work. Many templates include predefined tables, charts, and sample 
data to give you a head start with your spreadsheet.
