Default Don't change cell content in Excel by dragging

When a cell contains text + numbers the content changes by dragging: 1
changes in 2 etc. To avoid this you have to push the Ctrl-button. When a cell
contains only numbers the content remains the same. Then you have to push the
Ctrl-button if you wish to change 1 in 2, 3 4 etc. This difference causes a
lot of troubles. I would prefer not to change the content by normal dragging
and to adapt the content by dragging with the Ctrl-button.
