Is there a way to copy formulas within a table in Word?

[VLackey513]

I am trying to find a way to copy formulas in a Word table, like is done in
Excel, so as not to have to enter the formaula for each row. Does anyone know
how to do this?

You can copy the formula and paste it, just like you do with regular
text. You have to update the formula fields to reflect the new values.
Press Ctrl+A and then F9 to update all fields.

Unfortunately, no. Word doesn't support relative cell referencing like
Excel. As Fredrik noted, you can copy/paste them but you need to manually
update the pasted formula to reflect the correct column/row.
