Default update multiple similar files in word

I have 13 properties with 13 different (but similar) sections of a manual
(ie... PR, AP, AR, HR, etc) that need to be updated. Each property has 13
different heads of departments that only need to look at their section of the
manual, therefore a Master Doc or linked files wouldn't work.
Does anyone have any idea of how to combine these docs, but yet keep them
separate so the depts. don't have to scroll thru an entire manual to get to
their section and I don't have to make 13 changes to 13 different manuals.
I'm considering creating a 'web page' that would link identical documents so
I'd only have 1 copy instead of 13. I'm even open to a spreadsheet or
database if it would work.
I hope this makes sense to someone as I've been racking my brain to figure
out something. I currently open and close 160 word docs each time a change
needs to be made... aaarrgggghhhh!!
