Show/Submit content multiple TEB's

In a software simulation, I would like to have a user enter text into a Text Entry Box and capture that text. I want to have the contents of that TEB show up on subsequent slides as if the user is filling out a form and the contents of each TEB is reflected on each of the slides following. I have three TEBs. Finally, I want the user to click a button to submit the information as if they've completed the form. I know this requires Advanced Actions, but I can't seem to get it to work. Can anyone help?

    I have moved your question to a new thread, because it was not really linked with the original question in the other thread.

    Each TEB has an associated variable that you can insert in a Text container (caption or shape) on the following slide.You can set that Text container to display for the rest of the project so that it will show up in all following slides. Use the X-button in the Character part of the Properties panel of that Text container to insert the variable. On the following slide you can do the same, it has to be in another Text container however. No advanced actions are required up till now.

    What do you mean by 'Submit the information' when they have finished filling in all the fields? Do you mean validating and offer a feedback message? That will need a conditional advanced action, checking all TEB-variables to see if they are correct. Here is an old blog post where you'll find such an action:
