Tools - Options - Custom Lists.

Should be easy from there...

Hi Vincent,
Use of the fill handle
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/fillhand.htm

I think you will also have to make up a custom list also
described on the page.
A, B, C, ...., X, Y, Z, a, b, c, d, ... , x, y, z .

try filling down if it doesn't work you will need th custom list.
