link text field from Word to Access field in database

[Sharon]

My boss has a Word table where she updates the status of each matter in our
office on a regular basis. Although I have explained to her that I have an
Access database where it would be more efficient to keep that data, she
refuses to learn anything about Access or to do it any other way. Therefore,
although it seems backward to me, is there a way to link the text field in
Word to automatically insert itself into a particular field on my access
database?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
