If you want to print or create a PDF with an area of a Mac Numbers spreadsheet you'll find that you can't do it like you can with Microsoft Excel. But there are various strategies you can use to print a selected area in a table or print only specific rows.
Adobe released a new free app called Photoshop Camera that is getting some attention this week. It allows you to apply filters to photos or your live camera shots, but in a much more complex way than other photo filter apps. It separates the background from the subject and lets you replace the background. So you can replace a cloudy sky with a sunny sky, for instance. Here's a walkthrough of the app. At the very least, it is fun to play with. Here's a link to the app: <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/photoshop-camera/id1274204902" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://apps.apple.com/us/app/photoshop-camera/id1274204902</a>. I hear that it is very processor-intensive, so it will run slower or perhaps not at all on older iPhones.
It is easy to turn on page numbering for all pages in a Mac Pages document. But if you need to skip a few pages, start with page 1 after a cover or title page, or not have the page number appear on some pages, you'll need to learn how to use sections and the page numbering options.
In Keynote most transition and animation effects involve whole text boxes and other objects. If you want to emphasize a single word or phrase inside a text box, you need to get creative. Here are some techniques that you can use to draw attention to pieces of text during your presentation.
You can use Command+Space and search for an app name in Spotlight, like Pages, Numbers, TextEdit, and so on.

Here's a handy Quick Action that will allow you to take whatever is selected and send it right to a new Preview document. This makes it even easier to do a technique I'll be showing in a future video on printing from Numbers: <a href="https://archive.org/download/strategies-for-printing-from-mac-numbers-macmost-2199/2199NumbersPrint.mp4" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Strategies For Printing From Mac Numbers</a>. The for the two pieces of JavaScript it is simply: <blockquote>function run(input, parameters) {</blockquote><blockquote> var se = Application('System Events');</blockquote><blockquote> se.keystroke('c', { using: 'command down' });</blockquote><blockquote>}</blockquote>The second one is just using n instead of c. Oh, one thing I forgot to mention in the video! You need to go to System Preferences, Security & Privacy, Privacy, and then look for Accessibility on the left. Unlock by clicking the padlock. Then drag and drop Numbers into the list for Accessibility and make sure it is checked. This gives permission for the Quick Action to send the keystroke. But for some reason you don't seem to need that for Preview. Or at least I don't have Preview in my list and it seems to work fine.
