I am typing a report where we have to summarise different sections.

As an example, on page 3, we have the summary of each section. This summary is identical to the final paragraph on page 200, page 225 etc.

It is becoming tedious changing the text on page 200, and then remembering to copy and paste the changed text into the section on page 3.

Is it possible to arrange it so that Word automatically changes the text on page 3 as we change it later on in the document?



I though of using a macro but I want something which is quick and easy to introduce.

You could use a mapped Content Control.

There are more ways, but that is likely the simplest.
