All documents in applications from the iWork office package have the option of protecting them with a password, which is especially useful if the documents you created contain highly sensitive data or data that you want to protect from prying eyes. To enable a password, click File -> Set Password on the toolbar at the top of your Mac screen. Enter your password, add a question to be sure and save.
Copying styles
We have already discussed copying styles in one of the parts of our series on native Apple applications, but it is definitely worth reminding ourselves. If you want to copy a content style you've created to apply it elsewhere in your document, make any necessary edits first. Then select the relevant area and click Format -> Copy Style on the toolbar at the top of your Mac screen. Then select the object you want to apply the style to, and again choose Format -> Paste Style from the toolbar at the top of the Mac screen.

For better orientation in the table, you can use a function in Numbers on Mac to temporarily activate the alternating highlighting of cells in the table. First, press the Option (Alt) key while pointing the cursor over one of the cells. The entire column should automatically be colored, while the cell your mouse cursor is currently on will remain white.
