Text form field
Hi All.
I have a form which has a Name field on top and once the name box is filled I would like it to be auto filled throughout the file in specific locations. I attached a sample file for better understanding. For example in the attached file I inserted a text form field which allow to insert a name and I would like it to be repeated wherever I highlighted yellow in the file. I really appreciate if you can help me. Thank you all in advance. |

Simply insert cross-references to the formfield's internal bookmark (Name) wherever you want the data to appear, and check the formfield's 'calculate on exit' property. See attached.
No code required. See also: https://www.msofficeforums.com/word/...html#post46429

What Paul has said is true so long as you are using legacy form fields in documents that are protected for filling in forms. The "calculate on exit option" is slightly misnamed. It should read "Use this in other places in the document upon exit."
If you do not want that (very restrictive) form of restriction, use mapped content controls. |

Which the attachment shows is precisely what the OP is using...

Personally I would use a mapped content control and copies of that control. Whatever you enter in one will be repeated in the others. See attached.
Insert Content Control Add-In makes the insertion simple.
