There are several ways to do this, none of them explained properly in the
Word 2008 help. I am going to send you to the Word 2003 Help, because it's
the best fit for Word 2008, and it is very complete.
The simplest way to do this is with ASK fields, Bookmarks, and
cross-references.
The first is the ASK field. This is a field you insert (with
Insert>Field... In Word 2008) that pops up a prompt for information when the
user clicks on it. Whatever the user types is inserted in a bookmark. You
need to specify what the bookmark will be called (no spaces, and remember
it, you will need it in a moment).

In the place(s) in the document where you want the information to appear,
you insert cross-references to the bookmark you just named in the ASK field:
