I have a master document and some of the information enter into it also needs
to be entered into related documents. Copy and paste is cumbersom.

Is there a way to link the text I am entering into the other documents as I
am typing it into the master document?

Use an IncludeText field in the other documents. This "master" will be the
one into which you make the changes. Insert--Field and look for
IncludeText.
