dragging without interference
In my Excel 2002, I am finding that when I am trying to drag a set of cells
right, at the lower right of the area is this "helpful" dropdown box, which gives me options like "fill, fill with format" or some other crap. I don't want it, because it places itself right where the lower right drag corner is. How do I get rid of that little box. It also appears when there are incosistent formulas across a row or down a column, and I don't want it there either. -- Boris |

Go to
Tools--options--Error checking-- and uncheck the "enable background checking" and all the choices under Rules "BorisS" wrote in message ...

For the first requirement.......
ToolsOptionsEdit uncheck "show paste options buttons". And "show insert option buttons" Gord Dibben Excel MVP On Fri, 20 May 2005 11:42:14 -0400, "N Harkawat" wrote: Go to Tools--options--Error checking-- and uncheck the "enable background checking" and all the choices under Rules "BorisS" wrote in message ...
