Excellent! I was trying to figure the same thing out and your information solved my problem in less than 5 seconds. Thank again for your informative (and visual) description.

How do you Resize All? I have an Excel received via email and opened in iPad Numbers. I now have thousands of rows and several columns all needing to be resized.

@Michael - I am not aware of a way to resize all columns in Numbers.

Thanks that was awesome. Can you tell me if you can print the spreadsheets in the form view?

@Thelma -

You can select Share and Print from Form view but it just prints the spreadsheet, not the forms.
