Autofill or dropdown box help
 
I need an easy way of entering predefined text into cells. I have 4
cells on each of my worksheets that I contunally enter one of 5
different words. Is there a way to have a dropdown list in a cell or
have an autofill based on 5 predefined words?

You could have a drop down in each cell or a macro taking the dropdown to
the active cell

Go to
Highlight the 5 cells

Data --- Validation

Then select Lists and input the source range of your list.

You can also use combo boxes
