I have about 80 separate Word documents each containing one field that
occasionally needs to be updated. As opposed to opening each one to change
the fields, is there a way to create an Excel file with all the updates and
have the Word document reference the Excel file to automatically update when
changes are made?

Henry,

If you have set up the Excel file with the appropriate information, copy the
cell containing the information in Excel, place your cursor in the Word
document where you need the information, and click Edit Paste Special
Paste Link. It will update the document when you open it.
