When I use the fill handle, it pops up a little box at the end, clicked on
it, and changed to Copy Cells, and they all changed back to -1.

Want to fill down with the mouse without going to the next number in a

IOW:
If A1 is E76D3456-1, I want to copy down using the mouse without
having E76D3456-1 turn into a "dash 2" in A2 but remain as
E76D3456-1.
Either double clicking in the lower right corner, or dragging from the
"plus sign".
I've looked through the tools/options, haven't found it yet. Ideas?
(Excel 2003)
