version

I've been having a crack at using fields in Word 2007 and have hit a slight stumbling block. I want to add a field which I can use in several parts of the document to represent the current version (something of the form v0.1 but I can't see an obvious way to do it).

The only provision I've found for this is something called RevNum but that gets updated every time I save the document.

Is there a field I've missed or a way of adding custom fields or something?
