Default Field Code: User entered data updates in header/footer

Possibly the easiest method (instead of a bookmark) would be to apply a
character style to the Project Name field code and use a StyleRef field in
the header/footer. Alternatively, you could use a UserForm to collect the
name and write it to a custom document property and use a DocProperty field
in the header/footer. The advantage of StyleRef is that it updates
automatically and instantly, whereas fields can be balky about updating
(though fields in the header/footer are always updated at print time or on
Print Preview).

I want to create a template/document that has
Document Name: Project Name
displayed by default where Project Name is a field code that can
the be updated by right clicking the mouse.

Upon doing so, it would prompt the user to enter the name of the project
and then say
Document Name: My Wonderful Project

I want to have My Wonderful Project bookmarked so as to include it in the
header/footer.

This was my last attempt

{ COMMENTS " Project Name " { { SET ProjectName { FILLIN "Input

Project
Name" \d " Project Name " }}}

Any help would be appreciated

Dave
