Hi
I'm using Office 2019 - Word
How can I connect to words each other? I mean when I change a word, the other one will change automatically.
For example, there are two sentences like " ... beautiful day" and "... beautiful weather". When I change the first sentence like " ... horrible day" the second sentence will automatically change to "... horrible weather".
Thanks

It is unfortunate that this feature does not exist, as it could be extremely useful esp. for legal documentation.
There are at least 9 ways to do this in Word, please see my answer below.
A simple solution is to bookmark an item and repeat it by inserting cross-references to the bookmark. A more elegant way is to make use of mapped content controls, for example one of the built-in Document Properties found at Insert tab > Quick Parts > Document Property. See the link that John Korchok posted.
