Default Linked text in autoshapes?

Question: Is it possible to link text between two autoshapes?

Background: Document has two autoshapes. When you highlight the text in
one of the shapes the text in the other shape is also highlighting. These
are autoshapes - not text boxes.

Also, when you print the doc - neither shapes text prints (does show up on
screen and in print preview).

And finally, if you delete one of the shapes it removes the text from the
other shape but when you try to save it generates an error and kicks you out
of Word.

I fixed the crashing by copy the existing text to a new document (and it did
NOT copy the text in those two shapes) and then I could delete one shape and
save.

I figured out how to fix the problem but just wondering how it happened in
the first place.

Thanks!!
