I have been using "Document Properties" from the "Quick Parts" menu for a while to create fields that automatically fill-in throughout a long document when I enter text into one of the fields. There are only 15 "Document Properties" (e.g., Abstract, Status, etc) available for this "trick," and I need them all.

But out of nowhere two of them stopped working properly. Specifically, "Manager" and "Company" work as expected until I hit save. At that point, Word erases the text in the Document Property box, and it reverts to it's default state.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I am at a complete loss. The weird part is I can create a new document, and use those two "Document Properties" and they will work! So maybe it has something to do with the document I am in, and that would suggest it is fixable. But how.....???

Alternatively, is there a way to create additional "Document Properties" that work like this -- that is, you can create a place to put text, copy that field, paste it into various places in the document, and then when you enter text into one of those places, it autofills the rest?

Any ideas are greatly appreciated!!
