Greg Maxey's page, which he supplies in a response to your post, has a lot of great ways to do what you want. Another way, which I have found to be easier for the purpose you mentioned, is as follows:

The exact procedure differs depending on whether you are creating a template that will be used on multiple occasions or are creating a document once. For a document, select the name [repeat this for other data] and create a bookmark. Where you need it repeated, create a cross-reference, and for the type of cross-reference, use "Bookmark," selecting the appropriate one. If you will be doing this in a template for filling in later, press the spacebar a few times, select the area of spaces, create the bookmark; where it will be repeated, create and select another area of spaces and insert a cross-reference to that bookmark. Either select your print options to update all fields, or, before you print, Ctrl-A and then update all fields.

You: please post back if you have more questions.
MVP's: please let me know if this approach involves latent problems that should be avoided.
 
Joseph,

I am not a fan of long paragraphs :-)

You lost me, shipmate.

Bookmarking text can always be used to advantage in repeating(duplicating
text).

Type - John Jacob Jinglehiemershmidt. Select and bookmark "Name"

{Name} {Name} {Name} you can easily repeat the bookmark value til the cows
come home.

Did it appear long and stretched out on your system? My newsreader
or ISP or something will occasionally not let me post to the
microsoft.public.whatever newsgroups unless I unwrap my
paragraphs.... I acknowledge it's a problem, and I'm sorry it kept
my post from being readable.
