Not really. Although you could use INCLUDETEXT fields to links the content of each cell in that column to the corresponding cells in a parent table in another document so that changes in the parent table will be reflected in all the child tables, that would still have to be set up one document at a time. Provided the files all have the same table and table structure, a macro could be used to automate the process of either simply updating the tables or creating the links.
