Linking tables within one Word doc

Question

Hello,&nbsp;This is a long shot, but is it possible to link two tables within one Word doc? Basically, I want to update one table with new content, and I want that content to automatically be inputed/updated in the second table.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks

&nbsp;
The fact that the data is in tables is immaterial.

I want the same thing! I'm surprised this can't be done.&nbsp;&nbsp;Eric&nbsp;Phyff&nbsp;

Doug has provided the more flexible way to do this with form fields.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
If you just want to repeat the whole table, you can select it, copy and then use the Paste Special dialog box to paste the table as a linked object elsewhere in the document.
&nbsp;
Duplicating the table with a bookmark and a cross-reference to that bookmark would also be possible.&nbsp;
