I was wondering if anyone knew an easier way to switch between sheets other than a half dozen clicks. The main file Im concerned about this with is a spreadsheet I use to keep track of my movies on my pc (almost 900) and I have a sheet for each genre, 11 in total. Is there no way we can have the tabs display at the bottom like on open office? I just need an easier way to switch between sheets. Any help is much appreciated.

Not that I could ever find. Unfortunately gnumeric hasn't been completely hildonized, so some dialog windows are garbled and there are no tabs(gnumeric should have tabs), and no context menus. The hotkey to switch sheets is Ctrl+PageUp/PageDown, but I have a n800 so not much use for me, don't know if it would work for n810.

Is there an equivalent of page up/down on the N810, which is what I have?

I wasn't sure if the n810 did or did not have a Page Up/ Downs keys or not. In theory, I think you could remap another key to be PageUp PageDown, though I don't know if you would want to do that or not. Look up remapping n810 keys, to find some info on how to do it.

Is there possibly any kind of configuration file in gnumeric that could be edited to change the keyboard shortcut for changing sheets?

Unfortunately no, there is no editing of the keybindings from the gnumeric program. You would have to edit and recompile it.

Gnumeric needs some love like the recent Abiword updates to make it more Hildon-friendly. I moved from the spreadsheet in Documents To Go on Palm which had a nice drop-down menu in the top-right to change sheets within a workbook, which worked well. E.g.

Id like to see the tabs implemented as a toolbar you can turn on and off....I would rather scroll vertically more than horizontally.

I was just sitting here thinking, that it would be great if we could take the existing productivity apps that we have Gnumeric, Abiword, Xournal, and merge them into Maemo Office suite. Surely someone has the desire besides me?

Actually I think in the development branch of gnumeric, since 1.9.4 or so, they moved the tabs to the statusbar, which can be toggled of and on, but the current stable version of gnumeric has tabs at the bottom and they can't be turned off.
