Default Default Text for Form Field

I currently have a form set up that requires entry on multiple pages. A few
of the items on the form are repeated throughout the pages. How do I get a
form field to default to the text of another field on the form? Or do I use
another type of field to refer to the original field?

Thanks,
Merg

Perfect. Exactly what I was looking for. Figured it would be something short
and sweet.

Thanks,
