How is it done on the first text box?  Why not just copy the method used for it?

There is a copy method. However, I only know how to do it onto one page. If there are multiple discrepancies(which there always are) I need a new page to be created with the next text.

Ok, what is this copy method? And how will this form be used? For example, will users be filling it out on an iPad? Will they use Acrobat Reader? Will any other Reader be used?
