Post parent document with child documents

Hello -
What I am doing is developing a manual that several categories of users will need. What I don't want to hand them is the entire manual.
Yes, I know that I can copy from the complete manual and paste into a smaller manual but that could be tedious as changes are made...since the information that each user/category needs is scattered throughout the main manual.
What I'm wondering - does anyone know if Word can do the relational changes like Excel? (where if a cell is changed in workbook A and workbook B has a link then the cell in Workbook B is changed too)
thank you for any help...

Default parent document with child documents

If you want to save content in "sub-documents," you can use INCLUDETEXT
fields to bring it into a "parent" document. For more, take a look at
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/tblsfldsfm...textfields.htm.

If you are using Word 2007 or 2010, to display the Insert File dialog box,
click the arrow on the Object button on the Insert tab, and then click Text
from File.
