Default Autopopulate fields

I type from home. I have created a very basic template that allows me to
fill in the date, name to, patient name and number, and dear so/and/so, etc,
on page one. When I get to page two, I have to copy and paste the patient
name and identifying code number on each report. It is very timeconsuming.
I have looked and looked but cannot find anything that will help this
autopopulate into the header of page two. I have a field that automatically
numbers the page in the center of the subsequent pages header but cannot get
ANY autopopulate to work for me. Can you please help?

see:

{ } {PAGE} A/N: { }


My subsequent pages, have headers which I now manually enter the name and
number, and it assigns a page number

Jones, john 2 A/N: 144-44-4324


It takes an awful lot of my time, on every report, to manually put in the
name and a/n number, even with cutting and pasting.

Is there a way I can automate this for me, without making myself crazier
than I now feel after reading pages and pages of instructions?

If you could direct me or answer me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
very much. L.
