Default formatting lost when updating links

I have a text form field in a document (calculate on exit box checked).
Later in the document, I have inserted a reference field that refers to that
text form field. When I type something into the text form field and press
Tab, the reference field updates with the new info, but only the first word
retains the formatting I have set up for the reference field. After the
spacebar, all the other words lose any special formatting (underline, for
instance). How can I get Word to extend the formatting beyond the spacebar?
Example: 2-page document; page 1 is a form submitted to HR, page 2 is a
certificate. User fills out the HR form and a few things (emp. name, dept.)
are transferred to the fancy certificate on page 2. However, only the
employee's first name retains the large, cursive font. The last name
defaults to Arial.
