Default how do I fill table column with same text string

I have created a new column in a MS Word 2007 table. I want each row of that
column to contain the same text string ("BOOK"). I assume I should be able
to use Find & Replace to do this, but don't know what value to give the Find
portion so it will locate and change the empty cells in that column. If Find
& Replace is not the way to populate the column with data, what tool will do
the job?

Thanks!

Insert the text in one cell. Select the cell and copy to the clipboard. Then
select the entire column and paste.
