It would be useful to have linked fields in Word. Two or more areas of
text
which can be linked together, so that if one is altered, all the others
are.
This would be useful for, e.g. if I am writing a document which needs a
version number displayed in several places.
This differs from the current scheme, where you can link back to a
'mother'
location. The problem with this is that if a less computer literate staff
member edits a location other than the 'mother' area, they mess up the
linking and do not change all instances.
