creating synchronized sections in Word

[gib65]

Hello,



I'm wondering if there's a way in Word to create synchronized sections. What I mean is, a section of text or tables or objects, etc., that you can copy to another area of the document, and any changes you do in one is automatically reflected in the other.

I uploaded an attachment that shows what I mean. I would like to copy the "Technologies & Skills" section to every page of my document. I the screen shot, I manually copied it over. This doesn't allow me to automatically update every copy of this section just by changing one. If I want to add a technology or skill, I would like to add it to one section only and have it automatically added to all other sections.

Is this possible?

You could insert a text box in the header or footer range. This could go in the left margin to achieve the same effect as shown in your illustration. A header doesn't have to be at the top of the page. Anything entered in the header/footer would repeat on all the pages the header/footer applied to.
Alternatively you might be able to use mapped content controls which repeat the changes made in one in the others. - to this end, you may find Insert Content Control Add-In useful.
