Default Using fill handle on filtered data

I am new to Office 2007 and the new features in Excel. I am used to using
Excel in Office 2003. I'm trying to use a feature that I've always used in
Excel 2003 and for some reason the feature does not work the same way in
Excel for Office 2007.

I have several columns of text data, here's an example:

Test Name Test Level
Training 4
First 1
Second 2
Trainig 3

I created a pivot table and discovered that I mispelled the word "Training"
in the fourth row. So, I filtered the data for rows where "Test Name"
contains the word "Train". The results a

Test Name Test Level
Training 4
Trainig 3

Then, I select the first instance of "Training" and dragged down to replace
the misspelled word "Trainig" with the correct word "Training". This used to
work just fine in Excel for Office 2003. But, much to my dismay, the result
of dragging the value down from one cell to the other resulted in also
modifying all of the rows that were hidden by the filter. The end result of
this operation is:

Test Name Test Level
Training 4
Training 1
Training 2
Training 3

Can anyone help me with this? I need to be able to use the fill handle
feature on filtered data without modifying the hidden data. Is there an
option I can use to make sure the fill handle feature is only applied to
cells that are not hidden?

Thanks!
