name typing

[Vicky]

Hi, I'm not real familuar with the Excel program, so I will try to explain
myself as best as I can. How can I program my XL sheet not to duplicate
names when I type them? Such as: Redman, Redmond, Redcast and most comon
Smith. When I type Re, excel adds the extension of "dman", this seems to
slow me down when I add my names to the sheet. I have gone to Format cells,
but not sure if this is the right place. Thanks, Vicky.
