auto fill
 
I need to make a table with for 4 quarters (rows) and the months of the year
(columns). I am asked to use the auto fill function for the months of the
year but I can't seem to find where that is. Can someone tell me where the
"auto fill" function is or how to use it instead of having to type in all of
the months of the year.

Thanks!

Just write a month name in a cell, position the cursor on the bottom
right corner of the cell, click and drag down as far as needed.

Autofill is not a function you type in, but an action. You must enter your
first month (say January) and hit enter to complete your cell entry. Then
select the cell you just entered the month into and look in the lower right
corner - you should see a small square. Click and hold on this square and
drag across the columns - the months should autofill for you. If they don't,
once you've released the mouse button, you can click on a fly-out menu that
appears next to the last cell you dragged too - this will give you some
options.

Hope that helps.
