DocProperty will not insert correctly

i using word 2010 autofill option. have few document property fields set document. there 1 field not set. set property in advanced properties-custom box along other properties have specified. in template have inserted of properties in several places template "quick parts"-"field"-"docproperty". there 1 field "projectnum" value "project_number" not stay. after insert can click outside it, go , right click it, , in pop has edit-field option display property. go work on part of doc , come to  "project_number", right click , edit-field option not shown! @ point "project_number" field plain text! other property fields work fine. i've saved new document template , have same problem. tried renaming field , it's value well.

thanks

i'm not sure doing or happening, but

 a. if click alt-f9, property field show looking this:

{ docproperty projectnum \*mergeformat }

? (that's "field code" view of field).

 b. if right-click on result of document property field, right-click menu display different options depending on whether word has detected spelling/grammar error in result (which will, if "proofing language" set english , result "project_number"). in case, if click alt-f9 show "field code" view, right-clicking should reveal "field code" context menu.

if happening , want avoid problem, select field result , go review->language->set proofing language..., , check "do not check spelling or grammar"
