Is there a way to auto populate other text fields after filling in the first
field?

Example: A real-estate lease - I fill in the Unit Number on the first page,
and the Unit number auto populates in the remaining unit number fields on the
form.

Thanks!

Yes. You basically create an OnExit macro. I like to use string
variable as "middle men". But you can do pass the value
immediately without passing to the string variable.

Sub PopulateFields()
strBookvalue =
ActiveDocument.FormFields("bkDescriptionFirst").Result

strBookvalue2 =
ActiveDocument.FormFields("bkDescriptionSecond").Result

ActiveDocument.FormFields("bkOfficeExpense").Result =
strBookvalue

ActiveDocument.FormFields("bkOfficeExpense2").Result =
strBookvalue2

End Sub

Than assign the PopulateFields macro to the OnExit event of the
first field which will be data entered.
