Copying Text or Numbers using Auto Fill


The AutoFill function allows you to copy the contents of a cell across a row or down a column, in addition to creating a list or a series. To copy text or a single number across a row or down a column, follow the instructions below.
  1. Select the cell that contains the information you want to copy.
  2. Point the cursor to the lower right-hand corner of the cell until the cursor changes from an arrow to a solid cross (+).
  3. Press down and hold down the left mouse button while dragging the mouse down a column or across a row.
  4. The cells that you dragged the mouse through will now contain the information of the original cell.
