Auto fill Form Fields from previous Variable fields?

[Guest]

I want a variable customer name to propagate throughout a document after
entering it the first time. Is there a way to accomplish this without
performing individual mail merges for each NEW customer?

Thanks JAY! However:

While I can now Populate the fields, I am having problems having the
formatting retained once populated (Font size etc).

Look in the help for the topic "Format (\*) field switch" to read about the
\*Mergeformat and \*Charformat switches. Depending on what kind of
formatting you're trying to achieve, one of them should be included in each
Ref field.
