Thanks for the reply Dan. I am aware of that mouse drag feature. However I have RSI arm pain when using the computer so I prefer using the keyboard which is easier on my arms than a mouse is. In the Word Perfect Quattro Pro spreadsheet program, you can just do a <ctrl-shift-L> to automatically fill in a series (without any pop-up dialog). I was hoping for the same functionality in Open Office, but it looks like it's not possible to avoid that dialog when using the keyboard.
