Creating a date that is referenced throughout the document

[Speakeasy]

Hello and first time poster.

I am in customer service and we have to create outage documents when a 3rd party provider service fails. In a Word document I need to enter the date the outage started and ended. YYYY-DD-DD HH:MM

Since we need to post this in WordPress in a dozen languages, it means I have to edit the dates for all these languages.

In Excel it would be easy. I would enter the date manually in one cell and reference that cell throughout the spreadsheet. ie b14=A1



I basically want to do the same in this Word document. I manually want to enter the date/time and fields throughout the (same) document will update base on the referenced date.

I looked online on how to do this but everything I found wants to force today's date and time automatically.

Could you help me with this?
