I want to be able to introduce custom designed Fields with different 
options.

Example: Let us say you write under various pseudonyms (as I do) and 
want an "Author2," "Author3" etc entry.  Or you want more than one 
address, or anything else of the sort.  As far as I can see, the only 
option we really have is to create a one-record database and insert 
fields from that, and it's far from good or accurate.

Does anyone at all know how to create custom fields with fixed 
replacements?  If I want to have "Author2" with "George of the Jungle" 
as the name, is there anyway to do it?

So far, I have found no way to do anything but conditional text and 
it's a very clumsy solution as the substitutions I want to make are to 
be available in all documents.
