Stump the One to Ones

I have signed up with Apple to have my hand held for one year as I transition from PC mode to iMac wonderland. This feature, which is really quite nice, costs me $99, and I gladly paid it, because I really believed it would be VERY difficult to get used to the oddness of the Macintosh computer. Instead, I am learning at a brisk pace WITHOUT the hand holding. In fact, I am finding that I continually stump the Mac experts with my questions about how to do something using Apple software, that I could do using the Microsoft products.
The last time I was there, I asked a question about Numbers to see if the columns could be formatted to accept telephone numbers. The woman who was my expert, didn't know. And, as the clock was ticking (I only get an hour at a time) she began to look on line to see if she could find the answer. Well DUH! I could have done that at home.
So shortly I have another appointment with my One to One expert. Questions I want to answer, like how to make great blogs, can't be answered because they aren't an Apple issue.

Oh, they do discuss web pages, but that is because they are permoting the .mac account, which I refuse to purchase.
