On most gearboxes the 'full' point is when the oil spills back out of the filling hole. Usually the filling hole is accessed through the (left) wheel arch. It will be one of the bolts that hold the casing halves together and will be marked or will be a different size bolt head. I have not filled an automatic but presume it would be similar to a manual.

I am sure if you pop in to your lkocal agent, a mechanic would be willing to show you.
