Default adding a user field

Along with the ability that a Word template gives to insert the user's name
automatically depending on who is creating a document. I would like to add
the user's job title automatically. Is there a way to add a field like this?

Default adding a user field

You can add custom document properties in the File | Properties dialog
(Custom tab). Note that a property is not created until you enter a value
for it (this is not 100% intuitive). You can then insert this anywhere in
the document using a DocProperty field.
