Excel function possible in Word?

[RyeTronics]

In Excel 2003, you can select a number of columns that are numbered
sequentially and drag the cells down with the lower-right hand corner
tool. This in effect takes 1, 2, 3, etc and contines the numbering
system to whatever you need.

Is this possible to do in MS Word 2003? I work with documents that
have tables that are numbered sequentially (upwards of 300 rows) and I
must insert each row number by hand. I've tried cutting and pasting
the amount of numbered cells from Excel into word, but it never formats
correctly in the table.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Would this help? In the first cell in the column do insert>field>AutoNum.
Select that field and copy it to the clipboard. Select the column and do
paste.
