Default How do i fill down in a Word table (cont. D in Excel)?

Am I missing something, this shouldn't be this difficult to do.
I would like to be able to fill down text in a column of a Word table.
I know how to do it in Excel (cont. D).
I can't find any info on this topic.

No, Word doesn't work like Excel.

Select the first cell and copy it to the clipboard. Then select the whole
column, and paste. Each cell in the selection will get a copy of the first
cell's contents.

If this is something you do a lot, either do it in Excel and then copy it
from there and paste into Word, or get someone to write a macro for you.
