Default auto fill in a table

I have created a table with two columns. In one column I want to insert
dates and would like to use an auto fill feature like in Excel (the little
plus sign). but I do not see it in the table. Can it be done?

No, but you can copy/paste from Excel into a Word table -- just select the
same number of cells in the Word table prior to pasting.

You're welcome. :-)

Sorry I didn't have the answer you wanted but, other than using a macro/VBA,
it's the only answer. ;-)
