Default capture data from a form and have it in the header of all the pages

What you have done is OK as far as it goes, but as the REF fields are in the
page header they will not update unless you force the update with a macro
run on exit from the field - use the code at

If the REF fields are in the body of the document they will update if
calculate on exit is checked.

I have a document with a form in it with three fields,suppose
NAME,AGE,DESIGNATION.
Now when user fills these 3 cellls and writes about himself below
the form,now if he needs to go to the second page the second page
should open with
an header which consists of
1.Page number
2.Name
3.Designation
filled by him in the first page
In short I want to capture the data from the form and use that in my
header part of all the subsequent pages getting added.Can anybody
suggest a way to do this?
