Default Repeating Text - bookmarks/cross referncing?

Hi. I have a Word Template with 3 sections. There's tables for people to enter their findings and photos. In parts 1 and 2, there's a Conclusions part. I'm trying to make it so the text in each part is duplicated in the Overall Conclusions of Part 3 - effectively combining them together (1 and 2 are done by different people so 3 is the culmination of the full report).

I've tried using bookmarks - I expected to use two bookmarks each for 1 and 2, then two cross-references for 3. If I just set a bookmark as a location, I can't get the text after it. If I put in sample text such as [Comments], when it's edited, the bookmark seems to always disappear.

I tried a rich or plain text content control, which would have been idea as it can be made undeletable, but it didn't automatically update the cross reference, even when printing. I had to ctrl+F9. I can't have that happen as those entering the text won't even think to do this and it need to be automatic.

I thought about a text form field, but don't want the report to be protected.

Can anyone help?
