To add a fill series to a spreadsheet, select the cells to fill, choose Edit
> Fill > Series. In the Fill Series dialog, select AutoFill as the
Series
type
, and enter as the
Start value
an item from any defined series. The
selected cells then fill in the other items on the list sequentially,
repeating from the top of the list when they reach the end of the list.

You can also use Edit > Fill > Series
to create a one-time fill series for
numbers by entering the start and end
values and the increment. For example,
if you entered start and end values of 1
and 7 with an increment of 2, you would
get the sequence of 1, 3, 5, 7.
In all these cases, the Fill tool creates
only a momentary connection between
the cells. Once they are filled, the cells
have no further connection with one
another.
Defining a fill series
To define a fill series, go to Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org Calc
> Sort Lists. This dialog shows the previously-defined series in the
Lists
box on the left, and the contents of the highlighted list in the
Entries
box.
