Form AutoText Completion

I have designed a protected form with fields to be completed. Is there a
way that once, say one field is completed, this text is then duplicated in
certain other fields. So for example, if you input a name, then this name
is then autocompleted in other sections to save entering the details time
and time again.

Cheers

In all places after the initial form field, insert cross-references to the
field's name (which you can view and/or change in the field's Properties
dialog). Also in the form field's Properties dialog, make sure Calculate on
Exit is checked (which it is, by default).
