This is Eve Mike and Ross' friend. I have a Tech Writing question for you if you would not mind taking a look.
I posted this to the Tech Writing LJ, but I think it is dead because of the holiday and I want to know RIGHT NOW :) And Ross said you knew everything. So here goes (pasted from the LJ Community):
I have created a template so that when you open it, it prompts: "What is the name of this document", "What is the document number", etc. It then fills in the information in the right places in the right styles. It works fine until I go to print, when it asks the questions again. Why?
I used Insert > Field > Fill-In, and typed the question in the prompt box. I have also tried using "Ask" as the type of field, where I assign it a bookmark, but that does nothing. So then I tried to assign the bookmarks, THEN tried the Ask field again, referencing the bookmark, and still, when you go to use the template, nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong, and why is Word Help so less helpful than it used to be?

Thank you very much. I also added you on my list. I figured it was high time anyway.
