Autocomplete uses the cells directly above the cell.

Here are a couple of links:

Care to be a little more specific?

You can type it in a cell and then copy/paste it to your desired location,
but I don't think that's what you're after...

Ooops... just re-read your post and it clicked... my bad :)
I'm not sure you can add words to the auto-complete. I only know how to add
them to the auto-correct. Good luck!

Hi SA:

You can use AutoCorrect instead..For example, enter qu should be replaced by
question and its just as good autocomplete.
