Default Repeating text in user-defined field

I've created a form with fields for inputting course-related information
(e.g., title, date, faculty). Since there could be several courses on the
page, I copied all blank fields several times to fill the page. When I fill
out the first title field, either in design form or published form, the same
text shows up in the other title fields. I don't know how to stop text from
repeating in the other fields. Is there something that I should be changing
in the advanced properties box?

Default Repeating text in user-defined field

Outlook is doing exactly what you told it to do -- displaying the same field
multiple times. In other words, those are not separate fields, but the same
field repeated. If you want separate fields, you'll need to create them. You
can use the New button in the Field Chooser, then drag the new fields to the
form to add controls bound to those fields.
