As a regular user of Calc in Apache OpenOffice I have added two extra items to my tool bar (another learning curve to do this). I have added 'Fill Down' and 'Fill Series' Fill Series will bring up the Fill Series window which allows a lot of alternatives for what is being done in the column or row selected. Fill down is also useful to repeat text down a number of rows. Hope this extra information helps. Jean
