Create shapes which shares the same text

[fede]

Hi, I'm new to Visio and I'd like to know if I can create a shape or a
text shape which automatically has the same text of another shape (for
example, a title that changes when I change the text of a shape).
Thanks a lot.

You can do this in a "downstream" fashion, ie: one reacts to the other, but
not the other way around.

- Make two shapes.
- Note their ids under Format > Special
If page is blank, they'll be Sheet.1 and Sheet.2
- In 2, select Insert > Field and choose Custom Formula from the list
- Type: = ShapeText(Sheet.1!TheText)
Now when you type on Sheet.1, the same text should show up in Sheet.2
