I am having a hard time using the Word merge field "ASK". I have created the
book mark for the variable prompt but get error messages when I run the merge.

You cannot use a bookmark in a merge document as bookmark names need to be
unique and a merge would try and put the same bookmark on every page. An ASK
field writes its information to an internal bookmark
{ ASK Bookmarkname "Enter something" \o }
here 'bookmarkname'. To reproduce that in the document, use a REF field
{REF Bookmarkname}
