I have exhausted the online help and a couple different approaches
trying to figure this out. Does anyone know how to copy the results
of one form field into one or more other form fields?

I have run into this need a couple times where data is entered on one
page but I want it copied to another page in case the two are
separated after printing.

I figured out how to add a REF field that will include another form
field's contents - once the REF field is updated. But other than
setting an option to update all fields when printing, I can't figure
out how to update other fields upon exiting the input field. To
complicate things, I'm putting the REF field in a footer and you
can't record a macro or SELECT ALL when a document is protected for
forms.
