You currently have 3 main options for saving variables from one Tedds for Word document that can then be use in another:

Excel link

You can send variables from one document to and Excel spreadsheet and then bring them back to another Tedds document. See Tedds Help for more information on this feature. This would involve creating spreadsheets that you would need to manage alongside your documents.

Save as text file

You can export selected variables to a text file using the SaveSectionVarsTextFile function and then import them into another document using EvalFile. This would involve creating text files that you would need to manage alongside your documents.

Save as Library Item 

You can export selected variables to a Library Item using the SaveSectionVarsCalcItem function and then import them into another document using EvalCalcItem. This would involve creating a Library that you would need to manage alongside your documents.

This is probably the most efficient/easiest option and I have attached an example. The function notes are:

Tip: You could set the Library Name to match your project and the Item Name to match your calculation.
