Thanks for your help, but I guess I'm being obtuse. I have inserted fields
and selected Ref and selected the bookmark I want it to refer to but I'm
still only getting the field showing. Is there perhaps another way of
updating this template? Thanks again.

I have a legal document that I am creating a user form for such that, when
the template is opened, a dialog box appears and the user can fill in the
variables and then the document is populated with that information. I am
using Bookmarks in this regard, however, one of the bookmarks appears in
numerous places within the document and when I add the bookmark to the second
place it disappears from the first place, etc. My question is how do I
resolve this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in
advance.

You can use any bookmark name only once per document, as you found
out. In all the otoher places, insert REF fields (Insert Field,
select REF from the list) that refer to the bookmark. The fields will
repeat the contents of the bookmark. You'll need to update the fields
after filling in the bookmark -- most easily by going to Print Preview
and back.
