The simplest approach I've found is to type something that overrides the 
autofill, then after tabbing to the Transfer column and entering the 
relevant info, backtab back to Description to correct it. 

AFAICT this is no more work overall than it would take to find and change 
a setting to turn autofill off and then back on, unless perhaps the 
setting was on the toolbar.
