Default Auto-populating certain text on a Word doc

I have a Word doc that I send to suppliers. Each time I make an order, I have to edit the figures in multiple areas. It could be price, quantity for x, quantity for y etc.



Currently, I go through the document, editing the numbers as I go. But some numbers like quantity are repeated in several areas on the doc. It would be so much nicer if I could just enter the data in a popup box or similar, and then these 5 or 6 bits of data I enter are then placed in the right areas.

Any idea on how best to do this? Does it involve VBA? (I know some programming).

It depends on how many and whether the document needs to be used in Word 97-2003.
The following utility makes insertion of Mapped Content Controls the default. I use it regularly. Custom Content Control Insert Dialog

It is just for personal use and I am using Office365. I print out the doc and send the supplier a pdf version.
