Default Validation & Muliple List Picks

I know that Excel isn't a database program, but my company uses it for
everything, so I'm stuck using it for data collection. I know that in
Data-Validation you can set up a list of possible user picks and limit it to
those to that list. I have two questions.

1) Can you have a default for that cell, i.e. something that is filled in
unless they choose another answer from the list?

2) Is there a way to have a "pick all that apply?" Where the there can be
a list of options and the user picks the ones they want and what's stored in
the field is comma deliminated (this way we can filter on those items)?
