Stop Text Boxes From Containing Same Info?

L

How to I get text entered in one text box to STOP automatically appearing in
another text box on a different page?

When creating a brochure using one of the templates, I key the company
address in the return address section of the middle panel of Page 1. (When I
rest my mouse pointer over this textbox it is called the "Address Text Box"
as shown in a yellow tip box.) After I key the return address on Page 1, it
automatically appears in the "Address Text Box" on Page 2. If I edit the
text box on Page 2, it changes the text on Page 1, etc. How can I stop these
text boxes from containing the same information?

I am using Publisher 2003.

Highlight the text in the second box, view, undo Propagate personal information.

Could you delete the current text
box and insert a new one?

Mary,

Clicking Edit, Undo Propagate personal information worked, but...

What if that wasn't the last thing I did in Publisher thus making "Undo
Propagate personal information" not available under the Edit menu? What if I
saved the file and reopened it and then wanted to make the change? Is there
a dialog box that I can access to fix this problem?
