definitely not stupid - you're asking questions :) none of us woke up one
day knowing this stuff ....

the fill handle is located at the bottom right hand corner of the cell, if
you move your cursor over it you will see a +, clicking & dragging down on
this will fill in a formula or a series (try typing january in a cell and
filling down or across) ....

if you're using the fill handle and you have a column of data to the left or
right of the cell you want to fill down, double clicking the + rather than
dragging is a quick alternative.
