How do I do this with field (or something else?)

(using OfficeXP)

I have a 6-page document (medical forms) where the same info appear
multiple times throughout (e.g., name, d.o.b, phone#). I want to just
fill in the info once and have it replicated. So if I change the d.o.b.
anywhere in the doc, all the other d.o.b.'s change to the new value.

Pretty simple, yet I can't figure out how. Ask is kind of close to what
I want.

{ASK PatFN "Patient's full name" \* MERGEFORMAT}

{REF PatFN}

Problem with this is if the user enters something incorrect, how can she
edit it? Changing one {REF } field doesn't affect the others, and there
doesn't seem to be a way to get Word to prompt for that particular field
again.

thanks.
