Excel2007 copy content to neighboring cells
You often need to copy a cell to a neighboring cell or range, and this type of replication is common when you use a formula. For example, if you are making a budget, you need to create a formula that adds the values in column B, or you can add values from other columns by using the same formula. In addition to typing the formula again, you can copy it to a neighboring cell.
Excel provides additional selection pages for copying to neighboring cells. To use these commands, you can select the cells you are copying and the target cells that you want to copy to, and then find the appropriate command from the list below to complete the replication step:
"Start."-> "edit"-> "Fill"-> "Down" (or press ctrl+d key) to copy the cell to the selected area below.
"Start"-> "edit"-> "Fill"-> "right" (or press ctrl+r key) to copy the cell to the selected area on the right-hand side.
"Start"-> "edit"-> "Fill"-> "up" to copy the cell to the upper selected area.
"Start"-> "edit"-> "Fill"-> "left" to copy the cell to the left-hand selected area.
None of these commands can place information on the Windows Clipboard and Office Clipboard.
Tip: You can also use AutoFill to copy to adjacent cells by dragging the selection's fill handle (the selected cell, the small square in the lower-right corner of the cell or range). When you drag, Excel copies the original options to the highlighted cells. For more control of the autofill operation, hold down the right mouse button to drag the fill handle, which will get a shortcut menu with other options.
