Yes, you can do it via Insert > Field, but that's terribly inefficient compared to simply pressing Cmd-F9 (or Cmd-fn-F9) three times to create them. You also wouldn't want to be using Insert > Field for the complex field coding examples depicted in my Mailmerge Tips & Tricks thread (https://www.msofficeforums.com/mail-merge/) or in the Word field math & date tutorials referred to in that link.
