I am familiar with makeing forms in word, but recently I
needed to have a form with the same information entered in
several times. I tried giving the form a Bookmark and then
inserting a "Ref Bookmark" field and it didn't work. Am I
doing it wrong or is there another way to have a repeating
form field?

Example:

What is your product# ______ (text form field with
bookmark of "product")

Your product # _______ (Ref "product")

This did not work.

Did you check the calculate on exit box in the properties dialog of the
"product" formfield so that the cross reference field will be automatically
updated with the information entered into the formfield. Is it a proper
crossreference field (i.e. inserted from the Insert>Cross reference menu
item, or one that you constructed by typing the field yourself?
