You need just one form field for this. Insert that field, then in the Form
Field Options dialog, check the box for "Calculate on exit" and note (or
modify, if you like) the bookmark associated with that form field. Where you
want the data repeated, don't insert a form field. Instead, insert a
cross-reference (Insert | Cross-reference) to "Bookmark text" of the
appropriate bookmark.
