Microsoft Works

[Geraldine]

I am used to working with spreadsheets in Excel but Vista laptop has MS Works Spreadsheet. In Excel, cells autofill (is that the right term?) with info that I have typed before but I've fiddled with all sorts of settings & formatting & cannot get the Works spreadsheet to do this & it's very frustrating :(

Please - is there any way to do this other than copy & paste?

TIA

Although I am more used to working in Excel, I have found that works database doesn't have as many features.

Works doesn't seem to have the facility to copy a previously typed word after entering the first couple of letters of the word but you can use fill in the same way as in Excel.

I couldn't get on with MS Works Spreadsheet either Geraldine. I got hubby to take it out and put my excel back.
