Automatically copy content from a cell to an adjacent row or column

You can copy content from one cell to other rows or columns in your table without having to cut and paste each time.

In Page view, do one or both of the following:

Copy content from one cell to an adjacent row of cells

1. Position the insertion point in the cell with the content you want to copy.
2. Select that cell and the adjacent cells in a row to the right by dragging the cursor.
3. On the Table menu, select Fill, and click Right.

Copy content from one cell to an adjacent column of cells

1. Position the insertion point in the cell with the content you want to copy.
2. Select that cell and the adjacent cells in a column below by dragging the cursor.
3. On the Table menu, select Fill, and click Down.

Note

• You must select cells that are either in a row to the right or in a column below the cell with the content you are copying.
• From the original cell, you must select cells that run in a straight line from the original cell, either horizontally in rows, or vertically in columns.
