I need to do some tables and would like for Word to automatically fill in
months for me. IN old versions of Word Perfect, this was called "Quick
Fill". You started the pattern, i.e., Jan. Feb. and then hi-lited the
"cells" of the table that you wanted completed and it would automatically
fill in the remaining months as far as there were blanks. Can I do this in
Word. I am using Word 97. Thanks

This is an Excel feature. You could embed an Excel sheet or AutoFill in
Excel and paste into Word.

Thanks, this helps some. Not near as easily done as WP but at least I can do
it. Appreciate your help

You can do something like this with my DateSequencer Add-In

Select the columns

Click "Control Panel" on the Date Sequencer toolbar

Select period "Month"

Select "February" in the Display format window

Select "Fill selected cells"

Click "OK"
