Enter Your Contact Information

Now that you have set up your list, type the data for each contact under the headings you’ve established. Use the same formatting for all of your entries; just remember to make them different from the headings. When you need to make the same entry many times in the same column, Microsoft Excel learns what you want to type. AutoComplete finishes the entry for you—you only need to type a letter or two. Microsoft Excel also corrects typos automatically.

Don’t worry about typing your contact entries in a particular order   You can reorder them by clicking Sort (Data menu). Want to repeat an entry down a column?   Select the entry and drag the fill handle down the column.
