In most cases you would use hidden form fields on each page of the form to pass the data along to the next page. If you search the tag gallery, I recall a CF tag that will generate all of the hidden form field code on each page. Try searching for "hidden","formfield" and the llke.
Othertimes, usually when the user will be submitting HTML content, you can store the data in a temp table, or the same table with a temp flag. Reason being, that when there is HTMl submitted, it can not be stored very well in a hidden form field due to all of the tags a quotation marks. If you need to use the second method, let me know and I can give you more details...
