Hi Scott123_8,

I don't think this is practible.

You may have a master document and
have changes there reflect in client documents,
using fields like:
{ LINK Word.Document.8 "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Helmut
Weber\\Desktop\\Comparison800Mix.doc" "OLE_LINK1" \a \p }

But not make *any* document a master document by opening it.

In theory, it would be possible to update text
anywhere in any other doc by use of a manually started macro
or some auto-macro, or some ontime-macro, whatever,
maybe all methods combined.
A selection-change-event alone is not sufficient.
Might be a nice exercise for showing programming skills,
might work with two or three simple docs,
but for productive use out of the question.

In addition to Helmut's comments, you may be able to do what you want
without code.

You can use an INCLUDETEXT field to link one document into another
(most easily by using Insert > File and clicking the down arrow on the
Insert button, and choosing Insert As Link). Let's say you have a base
document called A.doc, and you insert fields pointing to that file in
B.doc and C.doc.

Now, if you make a change in the included text while you're in B.doc,
you can press Ctrl+Shift+F7 to send that change back to A.doc. To get
the change to show up in C.doc, you'd have to go to that document and
update (F9) at least that INCLUDETEXT field.

The difficulty with this scheme would be in remembering to update all
the documents each time you make a change in any of them. Possibly you
could write macros to intercept the Save, Print, and Close events and
do the updates before performing the requested actions.
