But to avoid having to enter the field manually in all our documents we arelooking for an automated way.Any help is much appreciated!Thanks in advance,Otto

I'll try to help you a bit more, then...

This is not something you should be doing in Word. You can do it in Acrobat (Pro) using an Action. You'll need to write the code to add the field to the file and populate it with the desired value, and then run that Action over all of your files.

It's not super difficult, but you need to know how to add new fields, which can be a bit tricky.
