That's not part of the instructions I posted.

In any event, if this is something you and your colleagues need to use regularly, the constructed field should be either added to the the relevant template or saved in that template as a Quick Part the users can insert as required.

Saving a template to Quick Parts is new to me, as in many other features of Word. I will try it. Thank you.

Select the field, press Alt+F3. This defaults to the AutoText building block but you can choose Quick Parts as the Gallery if you want. Choose a name that you would not type ordinarily for easy insertion.

Otherwise, Insert > Quick Parts > Save Selection to Quick Parts Gallery.
