Question Form field for completing multiple documents

Hi
I am fairly certain that this cant be done, but I would like to explore possible workarounds, etc...



So - I have a suite of documents (approx 30 docs) that make up a contract that has multiple fields that need completing in each document. Some fields are repeated several times in a document and occur in all or most of the documents.

For example, the Contractors Name appears one or more time in each document that forms the contract - so what would be handy is if you could fill it in, in one doc, and have that data propagate across all the documents in the suite(they will all be stored in the same folder)

As stated I am fairly sure it cant be done, using the normal Fields/bookmark method due to refs in other docs, but does any one know if there is some sort of mailmerge, macro, fields type of workaround that could be done?

I have just done a quick tally, and I have over 200 pieces of info to fill in each time the contract is let, to a contractor, of which about 60% of this data is repeated at least once across the suite of documents.

Any help, comments, directions most welcome.
Dave

PS - I know the contract could be better, but it's not mine to re-write so I have to make do with what I have.
