3) Created ASK field
ASK field opened upon creation and I entered a date. Nothing happened. Also tried it with Ref field in footer and bookmark and ASK in body.
Questions?
Would anything in the bookmark be visible on the screen?
How would a user access the ASK field? I couldn't get it to open again.
Does the ASK field need to be linked to text in the document body or to a button? If so, I'm not sure this is for us. The document in question is a meeting summary that we distribute to our customers, and we wouldn't want them to see an internal tool we use for our own convenience.
I still want to know how to make this work -- I might use it somewhere else.

I haven't used as ASK field for a long time. Userforms are far less cumbersome in use even if they take a bit more to construct. However, a userform, by definition involves macros.
When triggered, as ASK field gets information and inserts it into the document in a bookmark. This is not visible, but is as fragile as any bookmark. So, you do not create the bookmark, the ASK field does.
Here is the
reference for the ASK Field on the MS Site.

my tutorial on ASK and FILL-IN fields.
