How do I update ASK fields in a doc each time I open the doc with.

[Gazman]

I want the document to update all ASK fields when I open the document. I
don't want to use a macro to do it. The FILLIN field does what I want, but I
need to do it for the ASK field.

Hi Gazman,

The only reason for using an ASK field instead of a FILLIN field is if you
want to set a bookmark instead of displaying the result, but you can get
similar behaviour with a FILLIN field.

You can bookmark a FILLIN field, so that its results can be referenced
elsewhere in a document. Compared to an ASK field, this can save one REF
field. You can also hide a FILLIN field's output by incorporating it into an
IF field.
