Click to expand...

In the Properties dialog of the text form field, make sure "Calculate on
exit" is checked, and make a note of the contents of the Bookmark box (you
can change this to something more meaningful, such as "Name").

In the other locations, insert cross-references to the name in the Bookmark
box. Then protect the form. Put something in the form field and tab to the
next field. The cross-references should repeat what you typed.
