Walmart is falsely advertising products.

I have proof for that statement. I dare them to say a word to me about it. Now before I get to the evidence, I will (fairly) say that they did fully refund me for my money. So this isn't a rip-off scheme. It's just that they're trying to sell you something that isn't what you ordered, hoping you'll keep it even if the thing you ordered is a better product than what you got. See what I mean? I'm sure there are people out there (my husband is one of those people) who are willing to settle for what they give you, even if its not what you want.

Not me!

Please excuse the previous post.

I'm having problems not only with Google Docs, but also the forum. If you're interested, you can read my post about the glitch, here. Otherwise, please excuse the post.

Google forum problem.

I tried searching, but nothing addresses the problem. Let's say in Column A, I want to fill down with the following:

1
2
3
4
etc.

If I follow this (http://support.google.com/docs/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=75509), it does not work with numbers. Why? It is a spreadsheet after all designed to calculate numbers. Why can't I fill with a continuous series, like you can do with weeks?

I've tried typing the following:

1
Then dragging the bar down.

1
2
Then dragging the bar down.

1
2
3
Then dragging the bar down

and lastly

1
2
3
4
Then dragging the bar down.

As for dragging the bar down, it doesn't matter if I highlight the last number and drag or highlight them all then drag, it refuses to do a continuous series and simply repeats itself and that's useless for my purpose.

One suggestion, if I may:
Offer both features and rename them "repeat series" and "continue series". Perhaps you can format the column as either repeat or continuous and then the drag bar would do whatever setting you have for that column.

Unless all this is already there and I can't seem to find it.
