Hi Hang,

Use a formfield and in the other locations where you want the information to
appear, insert a crossreference to the text of the bookmark name that is
assigned to the formfield. In the properties dialog for the formfield,
check the Calculate on Exit box to cause the cross references to be updated
to show the information that is entered into the formfield.

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps
