It may still be worth visiting the reference I gave in my previous message.

If you need to prompt for data (i.e. it is not coming from the Data
Merge Data Source) it is generally better to use ASK fields rather than
FILLIN fields. With ASK fields you get to specify the name of a
"bookmark" that you can then reference using a REF field.

e.g. if you use

{ ASK mybookmark "Enter your value here" \d "A default value" \o }

then the text that the user enters is assigned to a "bookmark" called
mybookmark.

You can insert that text wherever you like using another field

{ REF mybookmark }

or even just

{ mybookmark }

if the bookmark name is not the same as any of the built-in field types.

If you have to use FILLIN fields, you have to assign their result to a
bookmark by using a nested field, e.g.

{ SET mybookmark { FILLIN "Enter your value here" \d "A default value"
\o } }

then you need to use { REF mybookmark } or { mybookmark } as above.
