Add an autonew macro to the template as follows:
Sub Autonew()
ActiveDocument.Fields.Update
End Sub

If there are fields in the headers/footers or other parts of the document
that are not updated - then use the sample update code on that web page as
an autonew instead.

I need a template that will can be used to set up outlines that
prompt for some text. I have two variables to use in both the title
of the outline and the header of pages of the outline. when I try to
create a template, I insert the ASK field, and it asks me for some
input; then I input the REF field. I repeat for the second variable.
Then, I try to save the template. But when I try to create a New
document using the Template, it has the variables already assigned to
either the default or the text I used when setting up.
HOw do I create a template to do this, or a macro that will start a
new document and require updating the variables?
