Sharing text between documents

Hi

We have multiple versions of very similar word documents that we use
for marketing material and email to potential clients.

The problem is that with all these different versions, when we have to
update the documentation, we end up having to update several of these
documents.

Now many of these docs have whole pages that are similar or differ
only slightly being customised in one or the other way.

How would be be able to link these docs so that we can make changes in
just one place and have the changes reflected in all the others.

I know one possible through OLE somehow but then the problem becomes
if we email off a document would the client be able to see the
document if the links are pointing to places on our harddrive.

Any suggestions or strategies for this would be welcome.

We are currently using Word 2000.
