Enter the following custom format script into boxes 1 through 4:

if(!event.value)

{event.value="Name and title"}

Change "Name and title" accordingly for boxes 2 through 4.  On page 2, create a multiline text field and enter the following custom calculation script:

 

event.value=
"To "+this.getField("box 1").value+"\r\r"+
"you have enquired about the following property "+
this.getField("box 2").value +", "+
"please could you explain what your enquiry about "+
this.getField("box 3").value+".\r\r"+
"What are your contact details - "+
this.getField("box 4").value+".";
