parent document with child documents

[cjarka587]

Hello -
What I am doing is developing a manual that several categories of user
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
smaller manual but that could be tedious as changes are made...since th
information that each user/category needs is scattered throughout th
main manual.
What I'm wondering - does anyone know if Word can do the relationa
changes like Excel? (where if a cell is changed in workbook A an
workbook B has a link then the cell in Workbook B is changed too)
thank you for any help..

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/tblsfldsfms/includetextfields.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.
