Excel under Windows suggests values as selected text as you type, it auto-completes when you move out of the cell, i.e. by using any of the 3 noted keys. However, it does not show a list of options to select from, it only suggests auto-completion when you have typed enough for there to be only one auto-complete option. (Not that this would be good behaviour in potlatch) -- Regards, Thomas Wood (Edgemaster) _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
