Hello, I am a rookie user of Pro 9 and I need some help, please. I am creating forms and I was wondering if there is a way to link fields with the same information so it only has be filled in once. For example, there are 25 text feilds for NAME: can I make it so when the NAME text box is filled in in one area it automactically fills in NAME in the rest of the document??

If they have the same name, they will have the same value.

I also want to link fields with same information and it does work. However, I don't want the user to be able to Tab to or change the data in the 2nd field. Is there a way to do that?
