Default linked fields content in word

Hello everyone
I downloaded a sample of visiting card from online Word models.


These cards have linked fields, I can edit any of these repeated fields in any of the cards and they will be copied to the other cards.
Tried to fiddle with repeated content in developer tab without success.
If you click on NEW in Word documents and type "Business cards" you can find plenty of examples.
Any suggestion (or link to a tutorial) would be more than welcome.
Thanks!

I'm not sure on what you actually want to know about these but the screen capture is showing linked Content Controls, not linked fields. Content Controls are a more recent feature that behave similarly to fields but have some advantages over fields.

There are good resources on the web to learn about linked content controls. I recommend you look at this page as a starting point.
Word Content Controls. This gives some background and the links at the bottom of the page provide info on the 'linked' behaviour.
