I am trying to create template documents that have fields in them where we can enter certain text, such as a Client Name, and have these used throughout the document where necessary, without requiring our staff to retype names a million times. I have already created a .dot file and have been trying to use the fields: ASK Bookmark and = (formula) to accomplish this, but for some reason, my document is not showing the correct text when I am prompted for the Bookmark name. I enter the text and it shows up in my document as a 0. A sample of my fields are:

{ASK ClientName "Enter Client Name" \o}{= ClientName}

Is this the wrong syntax? Wrong field? How do I accomplish this?
 
Never mind. I figured it out. It was the wrong field command. Instead of {= Bookmark} it should have been {REF Bookmark}. Everything seems to be working now.
