Referencing/linked changes in a document
I am relatively new to using Microsoft Word and I want to know if there is a
function which for when I make a chage to a specific word or title in a document that anywhere else that particular word or title is written in the document will change aswell. Can anyone help me with this? Either by telling me what this is called so I can look it up in the help function or by giving me tips on how this can be done. |

The obvious choice is Find & Replace:-) but depending on what kind of
"change" you're talking about it may not be the most efficient method. It depends to a great extent on whether you mean change to the text, change to the formatting, change to the location... or some combination as well as what the nature of the document. More details will probably yield more suggestions - And don't neglect to mention what version of Word you're using.

Thanks. I am using Word 2007.
As a scenario example, a budget report. I have a cost field which is blank on my title page and I have a table on my third page where I have a total which is constantly changing. What can I do so that everytime the total changes on page 3 in the table the total automatically alters on the first page to reflect that change. If you can help please reply, thanks.
