what is "fill handle". i don't see any fill handle in my excel

Enter 1-5 in A1:A5 and 751 - 755 in A6:A10

In A11 enter:

=A5+1

In A12 enter:

=A11+1

and drag it down to A15 on the fill handle.

Next as MartinW said:
Type A11:A1500 in the name box and then tap enter,

and:
Then go to Edit Fill Series
and select Autofill and press OK.

Finally while the cells are still highlighted, copy them and then Past
Special Values over the top of the formulas to remove the formulas..

Well, it is a crazy job that I'm numbering in another program and I need
the
first five numbers 1-5 lined up on the left side of the page, next sheet
is
to have the next five numbers 6-10 all the way to 750. The the other half
of
the page will have numbers 751- to 755 on the first sheet. So I'm trying
to
print 1-5 and 751 to 755 on the first sheet, 6-10 and 756 to 760 on the
second sheet etc.

Sandy, this formula worked great for my last job, but now i need
to
number
in
triplicate starting with 0001 to 1500. Excel eliminates those
preceding
zeros
and I need them to be there. I have tried to format the cells to
text
but
then this formula does not work. Can you help me out with this
one?

Is
this possible using the fill series. It is adding an extra

Can
this
