How do I re-use a user entry?

I need to do a document where the supplicant enters his/her name, and this
name reprinted in the footer.

I don't want to mess with VB, if possible.

Can it be done?
BR,

Several ways: read help on document properties and DocProperty fields, and
on bookmarks and Ref fields.
 
Excellent, thanks Stefan!

I had messed about with the REF, SET and other commands without being able
to make them work.
 
Glad I could help.

19. How can I enter something once in a document and have it repeat
elsewhere?

Sorry, but there seems to be a problem with REF in footers.
When I put { REF Qname } in my footer and then protects the form, the field
code disappears.

Any ideas?

Since it appears from the rest of the thread that a protected form is
involved, what you need is a StyleRef field; see

If you use a REF field in a footer then in order for it to update you need
to run an update macro (there's one at
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm ) on exit from the form field you
want to cross reference.
Alternatively you can apply a unique character style (which can be formatted
the same as the underlying style - only the name being different) to the
form field and use a Styleref field in the footer. Stylerefs will update
automatically.
