Thanks for the\at detail. After your earlier suggestion I had looked at this
option in help but it said
" Select to have Excel automatically provide a dialog with special options
when pasting, such as Formatting Only and Link Cells." so I didn't relate it
to the autofill issue. That seems to do the trick

There is nothing under edit that turns off the autofill help. Please
understand, I don't want to turn off autofill, just those annoying autofill
"tips" which pop up.

I've been "upgraded" to Excel 2003 and every time I use the autofill handle
to autofill I get an "autofill option" flag thing floating over the
spreadsheet. I've gone to the options but can not find anywhere to turn this
off (permanently so it won't show up again). Help shows nothing on the
subject. I've noticed other times when similar "help" floaters appear and I
find them very aggravating. Any suggestions?
