Form fields, refering to and updating them outside a doc

I have been using a template with form fields. We write a
document for a specific service, then save the template as
a doc. Do you know how I could extract and compile the
form field information, so that I could, say, look at a
spreadsheet (or an Access form), and see the information
on ten service agreements in columns based on the name of
the form field? Obviously I don't mind storing them all in
the same location
 
Have you tried the "Save data only for forms" option on the Save tab of
Tools | Options? This is a per-document setting.

BTW, if you are "saving the template as a doc," then it's not a real
template. A real template (.dot file) cannot be saved except as another
template; you create a new document based on the template by selecting it in
File New.
