Thanks for your reply!

I think the better option would be for Doc2 to just get the data to populate its own dropdown list. Ideally, I would prefer to use a second word document rather than an excel sheet but if that is not possible then I will have to settle with using an excel spreadsheet (since the people I work with are generally used to working with Word and have pretty much zero knowledge of excel).

I would just really like to make it a more efficient process rather than having people continuously type the same stuff in over and over again while still keeping my co-workers within a general comfort zone of theirs (word).

Do you have a link as to how I could do this with using word documents instead of 1 word document and 1 excel spreadsheet?

Thank you again for your help and if all else fails then I will have to give people a crash course in excel.
