Repeat same text from a 'form' field in same file

[Carol]

Hi - Could someone out there help me please.

I'm using a form, and there's two bits of data of I'd like
to 'repeat' several times throughout the same file.
It's a bit like the excel = where this cell equals
whatever is in the that cell.

The heading is not the right place and I've have 'mucked'
around with several commands.
- INSERT / FIELD =,
- then INCLUDETEXT (couldn't get bookmark link to work)and
- LINK (but external file)

So which is the best????? And how ?????
many thanks

1st: Created field using TEXT FORM FIELD. Gave it a unique
bookmark name. StationID.

Form fields gather data into bookmarks, by default Text1, Text2, etc. You
appear to have re-named the one you are interested in as StationID. You can
repeat the content of a bookmark whereever you wish with REF fields. Thus
{REF StationID}. In order to apply the information from the filled form
field, once the form is locked, you should set the calculate on exit check
box in the form field's properties. Then when you tab out of the field, the
REF field(s) are updated.

I am not sure where you are going with INCLUDETEXT, which has the purpose of
inserting external files (or bookmarked parts of files) into the current
document.
