Default ASK field not asking

Word 2002

I have included an ASK field in a template along with some fillin fields.
The fillin fields work when I open the template (.dot) but the ASK field
won't work until I select the field and press F9? Is this the way it's
supposed to work or am I doing something wrong?

Any help would be appreciated.

Brenda
