Hi, I've got a template I previously did for Word 2003 where I basically had
several {macrobutton nomacro Type something here} fields.

Now, in Word 2007, I see I have the option to actually add a Text content
control, which looks fantastic :)

BUT, is there a way of making it so that if I type something in one content
control, the same text value is automatically added into the second one as
well? Or even a third? How can I do that?

Found out that if I insert a comment field and copy that field, they both
work as I want! Yay! But, the comment field I insert via the Insert tab and
the text content control both look very similar. But I can't get it to work
the same way if I just copy a text content control. Are there any difference
between these two?

I basically just need this functionality in the template because I have
several places where the Title of the report needs to be written. And so that
users don't have to type it more than once.
