How do I insert a field such as 'fillin' or 'ask' so that when a Word
Template is opened the requested information populates many areas of the
document.

Example: I want the user to be asked to record the title of a product and
I
want this to populate the title page, the footer, the header and three
other
places in the document too.

I can set up six seperate 'fillin' fields but it measn the user having to
type in the same details six times into six dialogue boxes. The help
section
says you can do it using 'ask' and 'ref' fields but these need a bookmark
which won't be created until the user has opened the template!
