Default How do I re-use a user entry?

If you use a REF field in a footer then in order for it to update you need
to run an update macro (there's one at
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm ) on exit from the form field you
want to cross reference.
Alternatively you can apply a unique character style (which can be formatted
the same as the underlying style - only the name being different) to the
form field and use a Styleref field in the footer. Stylerefs will update
automatically.

Sorry, but there seems to be a problem with REF in footers.
When I put { REF Qname } in my footer and then protects the form, the
field code disappears.

Any ideas?

Excellent, thanks Stefan!

I had messed about with the REF, SET and other commands without

being able
to make them work.

I need to do a document where the supplicant enters his/her name,
and this name reprinted in the footer.

I don't want to mess with VB, if possible.

Can it be done?
