Use linked text in Word to update multiple documents at once
Use text links to replace text in multiple Word documents at once. Text links are useful when you insert the same block of text into multiple documents and need to update that text at some point.
In a new Microsoft Word document, enter the text you want to link to from the other documents. Format it the way you want it to appear in the documents. For example, this document might contain the 20 addresses or the contact information for a new employee.
Save the file to generate the link. Save the file to any location and note the location.
