'Fields' inserted into a Word Document

Good Day All,

We have a Third Party Software product through which we can add "fields" such as Contact Name, Reference etc to a template document, and when it runs, the 3rd party software inserts these fields auto-magically. However, they do not use "Fields" to do this.
I think it merely knows which fields it needs to replace in the document and what it should 'look like',i.e. an example would be <<Reference(12,20)>>

What I need to do, is get fields from this software, but I do not want them to display. I need their values for other reasons. Can you think of a good way to access these fields at runtime, read them and then delete them before the end-user tries to print the document?

I have forms on these documents, so I have ample time to do all these wonderful things. Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
EvE
