Default using bookmarks as variables - help!

Hello,

I am working on creating a contract in Word 2007 in which I want to lock
down most of the document, and then limit certain terms to a predefined
range. As an example, I would like the document end-user to be able to
select billing terms of either:

"thirty (30)" days; or
"sixty (60)" days

So I inserted a dropdown with those choices. I would like their selection
to update text later in the document. So I assigned the dropdown a bookmark
and then inserted a formula field referencing the bookmark. This works,
however it only shows the text in parenthesis (i.e. it shows "(30)" not
"thirty (30)". What is going on? Is there a better way to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards
