I think the best solution would be to place a content control in the table cell and use a ContentControl OnExit macro.

But if you are simply to trying to replicate the same content in two places, you don't even need a macro if you are using Content Controls mapped to the same xml data. See http://gregmaxey.com/word_tip_pages/..._controls.html

Guessed:
Thanks for your help but . . .

I did learn how to map the 2 controls but it's acting erratically.
I created an xml doc:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<AddressXMLNode xmlns="Inspectagator Client Address">
    <Address></Address>
</AddressXMLNode>
I imported it (XML Mapping Pane) and I created 2 controls mapped to it.
Each is in a separate table BUT
The first cell is Align Left, the second one is Align Center.
Every time I change one, the other is changed too.
I can't make it keep the text to the left in the 1st control & in the center on the 2nd control.

I need the user to be able to enter the address (RTF) into the first at the top of the document and that text is automatically entered into the second cell at the bottom of the doc.
BUT - without changing the formatting (namely the alignment).

Is there a way to do this?
