Keeping key fields in sync

I'm writing a document that references an approval date in more than one place.  I'd like to make one of those places updatable and the other just a reference to it.  My goal is to avoid those two displayed dates ever being different.  This would be easy in excel -- just reference the originating cell -- but how do you do it in a word doc?
