Creating a form with word would like to automatically duplicate data entered
in one field to the other fields

You need to write some macros. See the FAQs on that at word.mvps.org
and then ask some pointed questions in the VBA newsgroups.

Not necessarily. A REF field (Insert/Cross-reference) to the Bookmark
name for the form field and if you turn on the "Calculate on Exit"
option in the form field supplying the text would also do the trick.
That is unless the OP wants the data passed to another form field so
it can be edited.

You don't need macros, simply mark the property of formfield that is your
source "calculate on exit" and use a REF field. For more on this, see Greg
Maxey's page http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Repeating_Data.htm.
I assuming that what you are talking about is what Word calls an "online
form." Check this in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles.
Hope this helps,

G'day Beth & Charles,
as worded, the OP wants other form fields initialized. If the other
fields are not form fields, sure, an xref bookmark will do it. But
other formfields initial values? No, a macro.

You are right, of course. That is what the OP asked for. I suspect a REF
field is what is needed, though. The only reason to duplicate info into
another form field is if you want it to be a default for further processing.
I've seen that actually requested - once.
