Edit the contents of custom fields in Word?

Hiya,

I have a Word document littered with custom fields. The field contents show up all over the document. Right now, they contain generic text, such as "Insert Analyst Name".

I have to change the value of that field such that it reads the actual name everywhere it shows up in the document.

But this is turning out to be quite a weird problem.

Obviously, I can change the text, but as soon as I update the field, it changes back to "Insert Analyst Name".

I've tried a couple of things, but nothing that leads me to, basically, the table of field names/field values.

I'd really appreciate some advice.

Cheers,
