your a gem mate.

ive got office 2007...so it wasnt there.
however, it got me looking in the right place.

the answer to my 2nd question was right next to the first one in the window

for those needing an answer to this:
ribbon button (top left)excel optionsadvanced"after pressing enter, move
selection" (choose down)

then below it:
"enable fill handle and cell drag-and-drop"
winner
thank you again!!

Ensure 'Move selection after edit' is checked and select the direction to
move from the dropdown.

Q2. Which Icon?
