Default Replacable Text

In a word document, I would like to have replaceable text. i.e. Have text
written in a particular sentence explaining what one must write in that
sentence, and when someone types what they want in the text - it over-writes
the text explanation.
Does this make sense?

You may also want to try hidden text. You can type the instructions in
hidden text so the person filling out the form has the instructions, but the
text will not print
