I'd like to have a linked copy of a text e.g. 'text1' at another place in the
same word document. And everytime I change the text, the copy of the text
should change as well.
Thanks a lot.

Bookmark the original text and then insert a cross-reference to that
bookmark at the "other" place. Bookmarks make use of REF fields, which
update as you print or print preview. You can force an update of REF
and other fields at any time by selecting the whole document and
pressing F9.

Referenced fields do not update automatically. You have to update them
manually - the macro code at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm will
do that simply.

One ploy that you might consider is to copy the text to the clipboard then
edit paste special as a link. Changes in linked text are updated
automatically.

Whether this will work for you rather depends on what you are doing.

The 'Text1' suggests that this might be a form? If it is a form then you can
use a Ref field with the aforementioned macro run on exit from the field (if
the REF field is in a header/footer) otherwise simply check the calculate on
exit check box of Text1 form field.

Correction: *Cross-references* make use of bookmarks.
