In the Word VBA code, you can use oDoc.Variables('Product") or
oDoc.Variables('Product").Value (though the value is not really necessary
because it is the default property of a Variable. Having does maybe make
the code a bit easier to understand )

The variables do not have to appear anywhere in the document if you don't
want them to, so you can leave the value in them. If you do want to display
the value of the variable in the document, you do so by use of a {
DOCVARIABLE "Product" } field.

OK thanks - I will give that a go some time soon - just been away for a
long weekened
