I have text in a table cell. How to have Word automatically write that text in another table's cell?

Hi. Thanks for reading.

So i am writing a many page documents, and it has many tables. All the tables at the top have a Client's name cell. I would like to write the client's name in the first table and have word auto fill in the rest of the tables. In excel will be really easy.... i know.

 

Thanks for the input

In my opinion, the simplest method if using a recent version of Word for Windows is to use mapped content controls. This is, I believe, idea 7 in Greg's list. There are some built into Word that you can repurpose. You can also create your own.
