I am trying to add a priority to a message. I know how to simply use the menu item Message, Set Priority.

I’m using Mojave 10.14.4, Numbers v.6.0. I can make the text in the Table large, but when the formula comes up the text size is small. This is where I can easily have a typo. Is there a way to increase the size of the text in the formula field. I guess I could use the zoom ... (1 Comment)
