To fill data into a range of cells
To reduce data entry time, you can copy data that is entered for one or more tasks and supply it for another task or tasks by using Tools options. For example, you have 10 consecutive tasks with the same values for target start, target end, target duration, and target effort. You enter the data for the first task. To copy the values in the first row into the remaining nine rows, you use Shift+click to select the cells in these four columns for all 10 tasks, then use the Fill Down option.
You can also copy the data in one or more adjacent cells and paste it into one or more adjacent cells. See About copying and pasting.

The options for working with a range of cells apply to adjoining cells only: use Shift+click to select the cells.
