I would like to design a multipage form, on one of those pages it will have
address labels. I would like word to ask the user with a prompt for each
piece of data, then use that data to fill in multiple places in the form.

Example: The 'shipper name' field needs to updated on two address labels, on
the oubound shipping form, and the inbound shipping form.

Yes, that's how forms work. What's the question?

My question is exactly how do I prompt the user for one piece of info and use
it to fill out multiple locations. I've tried to use the ask function, then
ref a bookmark, but I havn't been able to get it to work.
