Include boilerplate text in a style? (Word 2003)

[Eric]

Is there a way to include text in a style?

To illustrate, imagine that I'd like to have a style named First Name, which
will be used for text that appears like this: First Name: Barack. The
"First Name" would be part of the style, and "Barack" would be entered.

I know how to get this effect with cross-references to bookmarked text, or
with forms. What I'd like to know is if it can be made as part of the style.

Thanks.

Yes, you can do this with a "numbered" style. In the same way that you can
include, say, "Chapter" before the number, you can include any other
relatively short text, and you can omit the number. For more, see
