I have set the enable autocomplete for cell values in Excel.
When I block an area and start entering text it is not recognized. The text
I am entering is specified outside of the marked area and it is not picking
it up.
Is there a way around this or am I out of luck.

Thanks.

I believe you are probably out of luck....
AutoComplete gets its values from the contiguous cells directly above the
active cell.

You may want to consider a Data Validation List.
See Debra Dalgleish's excellent website for more information:

Does that help?
