form field bookmark ref

Guest

I want to echo the information entered in a form field into the footer. I
have a bookmark to the form field that I reference in the footer but even
though I check preserve formatting, the output only formats the first word
correctly, the rest is formatted the same as the form field in the body. I
realize bookmarks can't have spaces but because it is a bookmark of a text
field... Is there another way I can attack this problem to get the result of
entering the data once in the form but having it print in 2 places?

REF fields in headers will not update automatically. Your choices are to use
a Styleref field or force an update by using a macro run on exit from the
form field - the code you need is the example code at
