Style Ref does same thing as normal ref, only copies text.

True. (It is a bit more convenient to use, though, since it can be
used to display the current value, whatever that is. With Ref fields
you need a bookmark for each new contents.)

Why do you need to duplicate the field? What kind of field are we
talking about?

Actually, I suspect that *exactly* what you are thinking of cannot be
done in Word. Older replies on the topic at google suggests this. But
perhaps something similar can be done with the assistance a macro.
Have you considered asking in a programming newsgroup?
