Keyboard shortcuts should work!

Select text (in Ms-Word,etc) and [CTRL/CMD + C]

then click in a 'Photo Description Cell' and [CTRL/CMD + V]

One hint- If you see a small [+] on the lower-right corner of the Text cell, then the text exceeds the size of the Cell size and will be terminated with the loss of copied text. .

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

It depends a bit on what you mean with 'pre-prepared'. If you simply mean that you've written some text in MS Word that you'd like to use in the book, then copy/paste will do that. If you mean that you have formatted this text, so part of it is bold or italics, or in a different font, then that is not possible. Any formatting will be lost when you copy/paste.
