G’day scripters
I’m trying to set the Graph vertical increment in a Numbers Chart, but can’t click on or select the Text Field for the stepper.
It will accept a value, but I cannot work out how to ˜lock’ the entered value. I’ve tried sending a keystroke, but it still reverts to its old setting.
Any advice please on how I can alter the stepper text field value, and have it ˜stick’.
Regards
Santa
