A ‘simple variable’ is a single word or short phrase that serves as a place holder for something else. Typically that 'something else' is personal data such as a name or an address, but it can be much more complex than that.

   Just place brackets around text to create a simple variable. When deciding on variable names, keep the end users reaction to the variable in mind: “[Date Contract Signed]” is probably better than “[Date].”
