Default Forms, Fields, and Restricted Editing

[This post applies, at least, to Wd2007 and Wd2010.]

If I use the content controls under the developer toolbar, I can
restrict editing (also under the developer toolbar) so the user can
just tab through the places he/she needs to enter information. On a
different model, I can insert ASK fields and REF fields so that the
user enters information in response to prompts, and the info becomes
replicated at various places throughout the document. But it does not
appear that I can restrict editing *and* use ASK and REF fields in an
online form. So here's my problem: is it possible--and, if so, how--
to create a form that (i) has restricted editing, (ii) either prompts
the user for information (i.e., ASK fields) or has click-in areas
(i.e., content controls) to enter data, and also--here's the difficult
part--(iii) will replicate some of that entered data at various places
throughout the file without the user having to click-in to each of
those locations?
