Numeric field to show on each page when data entered

I have a numeric field on a master page. When the pdf is opened and the user keys into this field, I would like the data they keyed to be entered into the field throughout the entire document. Is this possible? I'm very new at this, so any help would be appreciated.

Hi ttjess,

If the fields all have the same name then all you have to do is set the Default Binding to Global. Go to Window->Object, then under the Object tab select the Binding tab and change the Default Binding setting to Global. Setting this for one field only will work since all the fields have the same name.Hope this helps,

I'll give that a try. I'm not sure it will work since there is only one field, and that is on the master page. I can't really take it off the master because I grab data and never know how many pages there will be.
