I trust you're not using what Microsoft calls Master documents. These are a long standing source of catastrophic document corruption. See:

If you want to link contents from multiple documents together, that can be done via Word's INCLUDETEXT field - which is what Word creates for you if you use Insert|Object|>Text from File>Insert as Link. See:
Field codes: IncludeText field - Office Support
Word also provides an RD field which allows you to have a Table of Contents in one document that references content in another document. See:
Field codes: RD (Referenced Document) field - Office Support
