Thx!

1) is very useful when the number of cells to modify is not too large for click & drag (sometimes I need to handle up to a thousand cells in a single column).

2) Not sure what C1 is. The only better way I currently use is to combine the cells in the 1st row, and then click & drag the cross-hair down for all succeeding rows. But like again, that wouldn't be a good way for handling a very large number of rows.
