Default Autofill of Text Form Field based on another Text Form Field

Hi and thanks for your help.
I have a form with text Fields (protected). A number of spots I have the
name of the person as a text field. Currently I have to renter the name with
each form field.
Can you have it so that when you enter the name of the person it is
automatically updated in the other Fields? Wondering if you can do this
without VBA as then you don't have to worry about signing the code.

Cheers

elsewhere?
