Hello,

I have a little problem with the fill handle... I don't know what I've done, but my fill handle is not working properly... it's fine for copying forms, but when I use it with a series of numbers, it just copies the number instead of moving on to the next one.

Can you help me?

Thank you : )

Configuration: Windows XP / Internet Explorer 8.0

    The fill handle is not working properly?
    You don't say...

    You need to pay attention to everything the software provides as help and not decide to ignore it!
    When you pull the handle, a small icon appears right where you stopped; by placing your cursor over it, a bubble appears [Incremental Fill Options]; by clicking on it, you will see that the first of the 4 options is selected "Copy Cells"; you just need to select the second option "Increment Series"!

    When something isn't working in computing, it's rarely the fault of the machine or the software.
