Format|Cells|Alignment tab|Horizontal Dropdown box|Fill

You can also toggle a transition setting to get the same effect.

Tools|options|Transition tab|check Transition navigation keys.

But this will change how the Tab and home/ctrl-home key work, too.

Hello,

In Quattro I can place a backslash (\) followed by a character...say = and
the character will fill the cell regarless of column width.

Is there a process in Excel to achieve the similar outcome?
