Default how to multiply entire colume?

So, then, you are saying one of the key things to do when reading newsgroup
messages is to use the scroll bar too?<g

I could say, "Sorry for having missed that in your message", but let's just
say I was reinforcing your point instead, okay?<vbg

Or, alternately, do the first part of what you said in your first post

(put
=A1*7 in B1; click back in B1 to select it) and then simply double-click
that little black square.

In re-reading your post, here's the procedure that I believe you
alluded
to:

Click in B1 and drag down to select as many rows as you need.

With B1 the cell in focus (colored white), type in this formula:
=A1*7

THEN, hold down <Ctrl and hit <Enter.

This will fill all the selected cells in Column B with the formula.

Is that what you were after?

Say your numbers start in A1.
In B1, enter this formula:

=A1*7

Click back in B1 to select it.
Hover your cursor over the lower right corner of B1, where you see a

tiny
black square.
When the cursor changes from a fat white cross to a skinny black
cross,
click and drag down Column B as far as needed.

XL will *automatically* change the cell reference in the formula to

match
the row that the formula is in.

If you have no blank rows in Column A between your numbers, you can

have
XL
*automatically* copy the formula down Column B, as far as there are
numbers
in Column A, by *double clicking* on that tiny black square when the
cursor
changes to the skinny black cross.
