Thank you so much for your response. I will try to use the instructions in the link to create additional mapped content controls.
As for the saving and then reverting of the controls in my document, I am at a loss to explain it. I was saving a .docx document as a .docx document -- that is, just hitting the Save button or Cntrl-S. So it still seems very weird that two of the controls would just revert to blank. And more so because I can create the controls in another document, and they work. But I can't paste those working controls into my original document without having the same problem.
Oh well, hopefully with this new information I can create additional controls. Thanks again!!!
