Use {REF} fields where you want the repeated text.
E.g: On page one, you have a text field named "Text1" (right click the
field, click properties, and see/change the name where it says Bookmark,
bottom right corner).
everywhere else you want Text1 to appear do:
CTRL-F9;
A pair of { } will appear;
Type REF Text1 between the curly braces;
Create all the REF fields you want;
In the field where the text originates, make sure to check the "calculate on
exit" checkbox so that all REF fields will be updated automatically when
leaving the text fields;
Finally, do ALT-F9 twice to turn the REF fields into their values (They will
seem to disappear the first time as they will be linked to empty fields);
Lock the form;
Type some text in Text1;
See all the REF Text1 field update when you tab out of Text1.

Salut!
