I'm using AUTOTEXT fields in headers and footers in Word 2007 where the
values for the autotext come from a user form. When someone sends the form
with their information to another person, if that person print previews it
the headers/footers auto update the fields and it pulls in the readers info.
I want to retain the originators information. How can I prevent this from
happening? Thanks.

You could certainly lock the fields by selecting them and pressing Ctrl+F11.
(Later, when you need to unlock the fields, use Ctrl+Shift+F11.)

But it seems as if you should be able to do something more
sophisticated--assuming that this is really a user form (which I don't make
use of). You may want to ask in microsoft.public.word.vba.general.
