I work for an ISO9000 certifed company so it is vital that our documentation is consistent and up-to-date.
I am battling to find a method of maintaining job titles and names of staff across multiple documents. There are many uses - it may also be a product name.
Ideally I want to be able to update a job title in a single master document and then all other Office documents automatically update.
Some sort of tree like structure would also be good so that you can see the inter-relationships between documents.

Probably the simplest way to do this is with AutoText (part of quick parts). You have one template that holds the AutoText entries. You put AutoText fields referring to that entry in all of your documents. You have the fields update when the documents are opened. The template holding the AutoText is loaded on each computer as an Add-In making the AutoText entries available to all documents.
