1. Is there a way, in WORD, to tie the Section title to the foote
Title, so if one changes the other does too, automatically?

2. Is there a way, in WORD, to change the date in the headers o
several Sections, automatically by changing it in one-- without openin
each file separately

Yes. Use a distinct style for your section title, and insert a STYLEREF
field in the footer to refer to that style.

Now you've lost me - your sections are in separate files? If the date is
something like last date saved or printed, then you can use one of Word's
own date fields. If it's a date you want to enter yourself, then probably
your best bet is to use a custom property, and a DOCPROPERTY field to pick
up its value. Provided Word is not open, you can edit the value of custom
properties from Windows Explorer, without opening the file.

Another way of doing it would be to bookmark the date in the first section
file, and then use an INSERTTEXT field to pick it up in the other files.
