document template for new ebooks

Greetings!

At the moment I am using a DOTX word document template to copy+paste articles / stories into.

I am not a genius expert about Microsoft Word or Word Document template files... maybe there is a special sauce to make this work?

My problem is getting the critical Tags (i.e. 'document properties') passed to Calibre when I add the DOCX file.

==========
Through Trial-n-Error I have determined the following translation between Word Document Properties and Calibre Fields"
-Word Document Standardized Property "Title" = Calibre Field "Title"
-Word Document Standardized Property "Author" = Calibre Field "Author"
-Word Document Standardized Property "Company" = Calibre Field "Publisher"
-Word Document Standardized Property "Tags" = Calibre Field "Tags"
-Word Document Standardized Property "Comments" = Calibre Field "Description"
-Word Document Property "????" = Calibre Field "Series"
-Word Document Property "????" = Calibre Field "Series_Index"
-Word Document Property "????" = Calibre Field "ID" (for me all ID's are "url:https://path.to.source/destination.html")
-Word Document Property "????" = Calibre Field "Genre"
==========
Spoiler:

==========
I am able to 'eASILY' add the following document propertires in the main document text portion of the DOTX file... and these field seasily pass into Calibre:
-Word Document Standardized Property "Title" = Calibre Field "Title"
-Word Document Standardized Property "Author" = Calibre Field "Author"
-Word Document Standardized Property "Company" = Calibre Field "Publisher"

('eASILY' = I can pick the Word Document property and make it a grey highlighted text input field in the document text portion of the DOTX document)
==========

==========
I am able to 'nOT-eASILY' get the following tag fields into word document properties.... in an approach that is conducive to import into Calibre
-Word Document Standardized Property "Tags" = Calibre Field "Tags"
-Word Document Standardized Property "Comments" = Calibre Field "Description"


('nOT-eASILY' = I cannot pick the Word Document property and make it a grey highlighted text input field in the document text portion of the DOTX document... it is inconvenient to have to click "file" and edit properties there.)
==========

Is there anyway to create a DOTX template to'eASILY' (^above^) type in the following word document standardized property fields so the DOCX import process also passes the following fields into calibre?
-Word Document Standardized Property "Tags" = Calibre Field "Tags"
-Word Document Standardized Property "Comments" = Calibre Field "Description"


Does Calibre support "Custom" DOCX property fields?
-Word Document Custom Property "CalibreFieldSeries" = Calibre Field "Series"
-Word Document Custom Property "CalibreFieldSeriesIndex" = Calibre Field "Series_Index"
-Word Document Custom Property "CalibreFieldID" = Calibre Field "ID" (for me all ID's are "url:https://path.to.source/destination.html")
-Word Document Custom Property "CalibreFieldGenre" = Calibre Field "Genre"
