How do you put the heading title in a Word 2007 document?

Question

I am writing a document in word 2007 using the multilevel heading feature. I want to use the heading text in the body so that I don't have to change it everywhere if I decide to change the heading.

If the heading were "x"...


3.5.3 x
x are a very nice food and are rather good for you. Chickens lay x and different x have different sizes.


If I were to change just the heading to "Eggs", I would want the other instances of x to update accordingly, like this...


3.5.3 Eggs
Eggs are a very nice food and are rather good for you. Chickens lay eggs and different eggs have different sizes.


But if I decided to change just the heading to "cups", I would want the paragraph to look like this...


3.5.3 Cups
Cups are a very nice food and are rather good for you. Chickens lay cups and different cups have different sizes.
