I was wondering if anyone would know how to place text in a cell in Table 1
and then put the same text in table 2 but have it update if you change table
1 (a bit like excel when you copy a cell's content onto different worksheets)

Select the entire cell. Copy it. Place the cursor in the other table
cell. On the Edit menu, click Paste Special. Choose the "Unformatted
text" and "Paste link" options. Click OK.

The above uses OLE. Bookmarking and inserting a cross-reference would
not. The problem is that you cannot bookmark the whole table cell,
because then the cross-reference field would duplicate the cell, not
just its contents. On the other hand, bookmarking only the contents of
the cell would make it very easy to add text in the cell, but outside
of the bookmark, and that text would of course not be displayed in the
cross-reference.
