Real-time Data Merge

We're constantly filling out out real estate purchase contracts. Many of the fields are repeated thoughout the 2-3 pages of the contract.

I'd like to know if it's possible to have an area at the top that my assistant can input the data then have it populate the pertinent areas across the entire document?

Example: the form would looks something like this:
Contract State Arizona
Contract Type Vacant Land
Signing Date Sep 4, 2009
Signing City Sacramento
Signing State California
1: First Name Joe
1: Last Name Smith
2: First Name Jane
2: Last Name Smith
Subject Prop 123 Main Street
Subject CSZ Your City, St, Zip
Subject County Your County
Close Date Sep 13, 2009
Sales Price 358,000.00
Escrow Deposit 1,000.00
Down Payment 150,000.00
1st Mortgage 100,000.00
Seller Financing 200,000.00

I'm using OSx (Snow) and CS4

but my admin is using Vista and Reader

Just use the same field name for the repeated field. Fields with the same name share a large number of properties including the value.
