Newbie : use variable for automatic table fill

[tagada]

Hi,

I use MS Word as a form (mostly in various tables inside the document)
for entering data throughout a complete workflow. I want to enter a
piece of information once, and fill automatically another part of the
document from the variable text I first typed.

I guess it has to be coded as a variable, yet I have not sufficient
knowledge to implement this type of stuff.

Is there a known routine, or a trick to do this easily ? Thanks for
your help and sorry if it's a basic question.

It doesn't require coding, just a Reference (REF) field. See section 2 of
