Mine USED to auto-fill

Mine USED to auto-fill a known name within a cell. i.e... If I already had entered a name, just starting the name again would show choices to auto-fill the cell.  It does not do that anymore.  Why?
Also another item... if I place a name in a cell followed by a number, i.e. John 27... when I "Fill Down" the column it continues the number sequence, i.e. John 28, John 29, John 30, etc, etc.  How do I stop this action? I don't recall this ever happening before.
Please respond asap.
Thanks, john

Hi John,
"if I place a name in a cell followed by a number, i.e. John 27... when I "Fill Down" the column it continues the number sequence, i.e. John 28, John 29, John 30, etc, etc.  How do I stop this action"
Here are two ways:
Use a formula to generate the multiple copies:
="John 27"
Fill down, Copy, then go Edit > Paste values.
Enter the value into the first cell.
Click the cell to select it. Copy.
Select all cells to receive that value. Paste.
Regards,
Barry

  • How do you get auto fill to use the right E-mail address?

    Hi Everyone
    My address book card has multiple E-mail addresses on it. Yet when I want to use auto fill to fill out a form, 100% of the time it's just one address I want to use. The problem is safari always uses only one of the addresses and it's not the one I want to use. Is there a way to change which address (or any other field) from your address card is used in auto fill?
    TIA
    K

    Since you don't say how many email addresses you have on your own card or which of them it's picking, I'll assume it's choosing the first one in the list. If that's correct and it's not the one you want, you need to change the order of addresses to make the one you want be the first one in the list.
    Other than that, you cannot set a default item for any field.

    Set the pref signon.autofillForms to false on the about:config page.
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/signon.autofillForms
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />

  • Script to auto-fill password?

    Any idea if there's a script I could use to auto-fill password in the ultra-annoying username/password prompt?
    I asked Apple if I could circumvent this and they said no.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Passwords
    and delete the password(s) for the site in question, after making a note of them. The next time you log in to the site, save the password in the keychain. Test.

  • Yahoo e-mail will not allow me to add contacts and will not auto fill e-mail addresses, and now I'm having trouble downloading Adobe documents from my bank. All of these problems can be solved by using Internet Explorer, but I prefer Firefox.

    I get an error message when trying to add new contacts and it is suggested I try back later, also when sending an e-mail the address I wish to send an e-mail to will no longer auto-fill. This has been a problem for sometime, maybe a month. The last problem I had was trying to download my March bank statement, in Adobe. If I switch to Internet Explorer I can accomplish these tasks. I am using Yahoo on both Firefox and Internet Explorer.

    Check the Ethernet connection to the AirPort Express. Make sure that the Ethernet connection from the Comcast modem is connected to the WAN port on the back of the AirPort Express. The WAN port is the one with the circle of dots shown over the port.
    It sounds like you are connected to the Ethernet LAN port.

  • In my email auto fill it lists addresses I haven't used in 2  years as "recent others". What causes this, the contact information for these people was deleted some time ago.

  • How to auto-fill a book using only one master page

    I'm designing a rather simple photo book in Aperture.  I have a master page setup with six 2x3 image boxes per page.  Each image box has a metadata field for caption and for date/time.  I want to select a large number of images and auto-fill the book using only this master page.  As you might guess, its just going to be a presentation of a large number of photographs, scrapbook style, with the caption and time of each image.  Nothing fancy, intentionally.
    Problem is when I tell Aperture to auto-fill the images, if it needs a new page it randomly grabs a master page layout.  I want all pages to use only this specific master page.
    Can this be done?  Adding my own pages and dragging and dropping images by hand will be too cumbersome when a book might have 300+ images in it.

    Problem is when I tell Aperture to auto-fill the images, if it needs a new page it randomly grabs a master page layout.  I want all pages to use only this specific master page.
    Create a new, empty version of your master page and duplicate it as often as you want using the key combination ⌘D. Delete all pages with a layout that you not want.
    When you have enaough empty pages use auto-fill. It will fill the empty pages you just created.
    For example - plenty of pages using the same master layout, auto-filled:
