In Office 365 WORD, you have to dig for the FIELD dialog box.
INSERT>TEXT>QUICK PARTS
Choose Insert at the top of the ribbon, then find the TEXT category near the right side just before SYMBOLS.
Hover over the icons until you see "explore quick parts" and click that one. One of the items
is "field". Click it to present the field dialog box.
