Default Fillable fields that automatically fill out other fields

Hi,

I'm building a template and I'm running into some problems. I want an area
that a user can easily click and replace the test, for example [Click here to
type in the Name of the System]. I can do that easily enough. However, I'd
love it if that entered text could be referenced later in the body of the
document.

I've tried wrapping a bookmark around a DoFieldClick MACROBUTTON, but
whenever a user clicks to enter text the bookmark is either removed or set
aside while the entered text is outside it.

The only other option I can see is to use ASK fields, but I don't know how
well users like being prompted like that. Also, whenever I add an ASK field,
Word immediately asks me for the answer, and never prompts again. I've tried
saving it as both a .doc and a .dot .

Again, I'd prefer to use the more hackish way of using a MACROBUTTON, but I
can't seem to figure out how to reference that text later. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Johann
