Try this

Enter 1001 in A1

Right-click on the bottom right corner of A1 and drag down a ways until you
reach "so on"

Let go the mouse button and select "Fill Series" from the options.

What did you have as the "step value" in the Edit/ Fill Series dialogue box?

Are you sure you didn't do Edit/ Fill DOWN, rather than Edit/ Fill SERIES?
