Default Repeated values in form fields.

I have created a long legal form template for our workers. Data the worker enters in the beginning of the form has to be entered in several other places in the document. An example is the defendent's name. It currently has to be entered 7 times into fields on the form. Is there a way to have the six lower fields take the information from the first field where the data is entered. If I can figure this one out, I'll save dozens of worker hours per year.

Thanks,

Lee
