Using VBA automatically update identically named sections in multiple docs

I'm using VBA and MS Office (Excel, Word, and Project) to building system for managing multiple projects. On thing I'd like to do is; with-in a project folder have matching sections of document's propagate changes, to the same titled section in another document. For example, in a project I will have a ProjectCharter.docx, a CostEstimate.docx, and JobSpec.docx. Although each doc is different, they will each have a "Project Title", and "Project Summary" section. I'd like for the sections to all be the same, and for changes in a section in one doc to propagate to the same section in the rest of the docs. It would be great if I can make changes in any of the docs and onsaving have it propagate to the rest, but I'd still be totally satisfied if I had to use one as the master doc, and have it propagate changes from there. Thanks

You don't need any VBA code for this - all you need do is use Word's INCLUDETEXT fields. See:
