Default Using Word, can a Formula capture Text from another Table?

Is it possible to have a formula that can refrence text in another table?
For example, in Table1 B1 equals John . Can I write a formula in Table2 D4
that will display the result John ? Every formula I try is numerical not
alpha.

Please Advise
