Linking to text in elsewhere in same document

[joeB545]

Is there a way to link to text in a different part of the same document? For
example, I create a document to describe a software project that has several
sections. One section is a summary that contains a list that name the and
briefly describe the objects to be used in the project. Later on, I have
another section that fully describes each object on its own page, along with
a description of its attributes and methods. I want the exact same
description for each object to be repeated in this section from the former,
in addition to the other information. When I make changes to the first
section, I want those changes automatically reflected in the second section.
It would be like OLE within the same document. Is this possible and if yes,
how do I do it. I am using Word 2007.

Thanks.
