1. A method for automatically completing a remainder portion of a name as it is being entered, comprising: receiving, at processing circuitry configured to execute instructions stored on a memory, at least a prescribed number of starting characters of a name being entered into a first cell, wherein: the first cell is disposed in a document; the document includes a first table having a first table name and a second table having a second table name; the first table includes a first row or column having a first row or column name and the second table includes a second row or column having a second row or column name; the first row or column name and the second row or column name are the same; and the starting characters of the name being entered into the first cell include a string of characters found in the first row or column name and the second row or column name; using the processing circuitry to determine a set of valid reference names that include the starting characters of the name being entered into the first cell, wherein: a first valid reference name of the set of valid reference names comprises the first row or column name; a second valid reference name of the set of valid reference names comprises the second row or column name; and the first valid reference name comprises the first table name or the second valid reference name comprises the second table name; and providing with the processing circuitry the set of valid reference names as selectable auto-completion options to enable selection between the first valid reference name and the second valid reference name.
6. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the prescribed number of starting characters comprises the first two characters of the name.
