Multiple text layers, change contents simultaneously?

I am using CS2. I have a document with several text layers, all of which
get the same text, but different fonts, color, size.

I know I can change the style of multiple text layers in one go (select
and hold shift while changing properties), but this does not work for the
contents.

Any ideas if/how it's possible to change text in one of the fields and
have the others follow suit? I need to modify the text dozens of times for
a project.

Hi,
You can group the text layers into smart objects (right click, group
into smart object) then duplicate those layers by dragging the new
smart object to the 'create new layer button' (not the 'new via copy'
option) for as many new layers as will need, then any changes made to
the text their associated style in one smart object will be propagated
to the other layers.
