How do I add a column to a Word table that contains text that will repeat
within the column's cell for every new row I add?

Hi Greg,

You can't, at least not the way you're thinking (hit tab at the end of
the last row, get a new row with one column already filled in).

What you can do is create a one-row table with the proper number of
columns, fill in the repeating column, select the whole row, and press
Alt+F3 to give it a name as an AutoText entry. When you want a new
row, put the cursor in the paragraph *after* the table, type the
AutoText name, and press F3 to insert a copy of the row you saved.

If it's a short text, you can also apply it as "numbering" to the whole
column. Any new row will repeat it.
In "Bullets and Numbering > Numbered > Customize", delete the grey number
in "Number format", type in your text (up to 30 characters, it seems), and
set the "Font" formatting to your liking.
