Microsoft Word - Meeting minutes template - agenda items automatically copied into Minutes section

A team I work with is interested in creating a meeting minutes template that automatically copies the Agenda Items to the Minutes section. (I'm convinced that this will just make the template more complicated and less userfriendly, but am exploring nonetheless...)

I've designed the minutes template but am now confused with how to make the text automatically copy to the different areas. We are on 2007.

I've looked into the content controls and they seem like they will work for our needs, as long as I put in references to the original controls. I would love if it would work this way, though:

1. User enters a new agenda item in a table row.

time allotted

2. Word automatically creates the Agenda Item table, with the agenda item populated in the appropriate space. The reason this is preferable is that I don't have to create a static number of rows in the agenda item table or mintues tables. The number of minute tables will be = to the number of agenda items. I assume this method requires a macro. I don't know macros but might be willing to learn if this would be possible. Thanks for your thoughts!

I'm not necessarily looking for the solution, just if this is something that word macros could make happen.  (i.e.: is it worth it for me to learn macros). ORRRR if someone knows of a template i could buy, that would rule too. thanks.
