Sorry if this has been asked/answered but I can't find an answer in the forum....
 
I have a previously created form that and there is one piece of data that needs to be filled in on multiple pages of the form. The form is set so that when you enter it on page 1, it pre-fills it in 2 other spots of the form but there are 4 additional spots I'd like to also pre-fill and I can't figure out how to do it.
 
Obviously I'm not familiar with this program but I'm pretty good at figuring things out with a little guidance - - in fact I was able to correct some tabbing issues in the form already but this has me stumped.
 
Thanks!

If the form is created in Acrobat, just use the exact same field name for the text fields. If the form is created in LiveCycle Designer, use the exact same field name and set the binding for the fields to 'Global'.

Thanks George, that did it! I thought I had tried that already but apparently I did something wrong.

Quick follow-up question.... I have four separate fields (Street Address, City, State, Zip)...is there any way to merge those 4 fields into one in a different spot in the form?
