I am not aware of a format that will repeat the character you typed in but if
you know the character ahed of time that you want then you can use this
custom format

Hi everyone,

I seem to remember when I used SuperCalc that there was a way to fill
the WHOLE cell with a character by just entering the one character in.
So, for example, if I wanted to fill the WHOLE cell with an asterix
what would I need to do please.

Thanks in Advance.
All the Best.
Paul
