Using a 2003 Word form document, I have two fields on the first page that I
want to auto update to corresponding fields on a second page. I set up a
{REF} field on page 2 and set the form field to calculate on exit. It works
perfectly after protecting the document, entering the page 1 fields, and
exiting the fields. However, when I switch on track changes and protect the
document, the {REF} fields on page 2 are deleted as soon as I enter something
in the first form field on page 1. Sometimes one is deleted, sometimes both,
and sometimes the markup shows "deleted" and sometimes it doesn't. Sounds
crazy - also sounds like a bug.

I thought a workaround would be a macro that takes the data from the fields
on page 1 and copies it to the corresponding fields on page 2, executed on
exiting each page 1 field. This way, there would be no field code on page 2
to delete. But I don't know VBA well enough to figure this out on my own and
haven't found the right code on the Net.

Greg Maxey's http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Repeating_Data.htm doesn't address
this issue as far as I can tell (except for Word 2007). I also haven't seen
this reported as a bug on the Microsoft site or anywhere else.

Can anyone provide the code or suggest another workaround?
