To make your custom field accessible in another area of your platform, for example making a User based field like 'Dietary Requirements' available in the Delegates module, it needs to be shared.

Custom Fields can be pulled through to document templates via merge fields.
When editing a Word Document - click 'insert' - 'Explore quick parts' and select Field.

In Word, once this has been pasted into the 'Field name', click OK - it should now be in your Document Template ready for use.
The types of custom fields that can be used in Document Templates include date fields, free text fields, checkboxes, numerical fields, as well as drop down boxes.
