While it may have worked, removing the Content Control isn't the necessarily
best solution. It might be, but by using the bound File Properties you have
greater flexibly in your document. For example if you want to include the
Title in the header, footer, on another page, etc, all you need to to is on
the Insert tab, click Quick Parts, and insert the desired file property from
Document Properties. Then to change the Title all you need to to is change
it once in any of the content controls and it will automatically update
throughout the document, and in the File Properties.
Please see my reply in this thread for the reason why you encountered this
issue.

Can't fathom why it's happening but to prevent it from happening, open
the
document, reenter the text you want to replace the placeholder text,
right
click each place you've entered that key text and click Remove Content
Control.

I have inserted a cover page into my document in Word 2007, but
whenever I
key text into the placeholders for [Type Author Name] and [Type the
Company
Name], my own text disappears each time I attempt to save the cover
page.
The location placeholders change back to the default text. How can I
keep the
placeholders from restoring the default text?
