Enter the number 1 in the cell you want to start your numbering from, then
reselect the cell if some other cell became active. Next, select the Home
tab, find the Editing panel, click the Fill icon and then click the item
labeled "Series". In the dialog box that appears, select Rows and Linear
from the first two panels, put 1 in the "Step value" field and put 600 in
the "Stop value" field and then click the OK button.

I need to number a column 1-600. Is there an easier way than tyoing
in each cell?
