Hi Mike,
Without the custom document property, the field won't work. To get to where you can add it, click Office Button|Prepare|Properties
Document Properties Advanced Properties Custom.

I am using Word 2007 and I found the Document Properties through the Office
Button, however, there is no ability to create a Custom field (as far as I
can tell).
I typed out one of the examples above. Everything is exactly as written, but
when I hit Alt-F9, I just get a blank. Any ideas?
