Which handle appears as a thin plus sign when you hover over the lower right corner of a cell?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The AutoFill Handle appears as a thin plus sign when you hover over the lower right corner of a cell.

1) Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- In spreadsheet programs (like Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets) a small square in the lower-right corner of a selected cell is called the fill handle or AutoFill handle. 
- The mouse cursor changes shape when positioned precisely over that handle: it becomes a thin, black plus sign (+). 
- Dragging the AutoFill Handle fills adjacent cells by copying values, extending series (dates, numbers, formulas), or applying patterns.

2) Step-by-step reasoning
- Select any single cell (or a range) so it is active and shows a border.
- Move the mouse pointer to the lower-right corner of the active cell until it is directly over the small square (the handle).
- Observe the cursor: it changes from the regular pointer or I-beam to a thin plus sign. That cursor indicates the AutoFill function is active.
- Click and drag while the thin plus sign is displayed to auto-populate neighboring cells with copied values, formulas, or continued sequences.

3) Calculations
- No numeric calculations are required for identification; the evidence is based on cursor behavior and UI conventions.

4) Why the correct answer is correct
- The thin plus sign is the standard, documented cursor shape that identifies the AutoFill Handle. It both visually and functionally distinguishes the fill operation from selection or moving.

5) Why the other options are incorrect
- The Select Handle: Not a standard name for the lower-right small square in spreadsheets; selection typically uses the cell border, and this term is more common in graphics editors for resizing controls.
- The Move Handle: The move cursor is usually a four-headed arrow or crosshair when dragging an object, not a thin plus sign. It indicates repositioning, not filling.

6) Conclusion
- Therefore, the correct answer is The AutoFill Handle, which matches the provided answer.
