Can anyone tell me how the 'Fill' setting works in 'Format-->Cells-->[Alignment Tab], Horizontal:' works? I just can't figure it out, nor can I find anything helpful in the Help files or other documentation I've checked out.

Basically what it does is fill the cell content... for example if you type in , lets say "Sum" it will repeat the the word "sum" until the cell is full. Hope that helps...What you need it for... who know's...

Sure, it is just to fill the whole cell from left to right with the single character you type in the cell. Even if you stretch the column wider, this character(s) will repeat itself to fill the whole width of the cell. Still, in the formula bar, youwill see the contents of the cell as only 1 character.
