Default Type info in one cell that automatically repeats in other cells.

Hi,

I'm trying to format a spreadsheet in such a way that when I enter a data
value into a given cell, for instance an ID #, it repeats that same ID #
throughout the spreadsheet without me ever having to type it again.
Basically, the document is 16 pages long, and the ID # is required on every
page. There are other repeat values as well. It just occurred to me that
maybe I could just make it a header, but with all of the different categories
of information I have to add, and the number of spreadsheets I'm dealing
with, that might get ridiculous.

Thanks

In Sheet1!A1 enter the relevant ID#.

Then, in all subsequent sheets in the workbook enter the formula =Sheet1!A1
where you want the ID# to appear.

Repeat this process for any other values which you want to repeat throughout
your workbook.

I'm not into the whole brevity thing, man. Thanks for the info.
