Typing in Cells - Cell Remembers From First Few Letters

[jeanngoodyear]

How do you make the cells remember - Like I start to type 'Phoenix' and the
word just pops in like it remembered the word. Is this random or does it
have to see a pattern?

In Excel 2003, this is controlled by the AutoComplete option under Tools >
Options > Edit.

Not random.

Controlled by autocomplete being enabled in Editing options.

And the values Excel looks at for autocomplete must be contiguous in the
same column as your entry cell.
