Default New Drop-Down Functionality in 2007?

Hi Greg

You need to create a Table.
Insert tabTableClick my table has headersOK
You will notice that a new Design tab appears and in the Properties section
you can give the Table a name rather than default Table1 if required.

There is also an option on the Design tab in the Tools section to Convert to
Range which will remove all of the table functions.

I've noticed when working in 2007 that I can reference field names as
[field1], which show up as a drop-down menu. As soon as I type =[, a
menu pops up with a listing of all the field names. To the left of the
field names in the menu is a yellow/gold box that shows (...)
It's great functionality but I can't seem to figure out how to create
it in a new columns created manually. I first noticed it when I
exported a list from SharePoint to Excel - these references were
created automatically.
Can anyone fill me in on what this is at least called so that I may
research it? I searched the discussion groups and Excel Help but
haven't found anything. Thanks
