Same information in multiple documents

Hi Microsoft Community,

How would I create a word document that will automatically update other word documents with that information? For example, I enter their name on one and it enters it into 4 other documents. How would I do that? I am currently running Microsoft office 2010.  I tried the includetext but received errors. I am familiar with linking excel cells to a word documents.

Thank You,

sam

Answer
IncludeText is what you want. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/includetextfields.htm. If you want all the bits and pieces in a single source document, you'll need to bookmark each bit and add the bookmark to the IncludeText fields.
