Hi I have 3 text layers on top of each other with different layer effects that create a good overall effect. My problem is that if I change 1 text layer I need to change the 2 others. Currently i need to copy and paste the changes into the layers below using the exact same text. How can i automate this process so if I say add a comma on 1 layer it will add it on the other 2???

To speed up the process you can double click on the text layer thumbnail to quickly select text.

Turn your text layer to Smart Object and make it's duplicates. Apply different styles do different copies.
To change the text - just open Smart Object make changes, save.
