PurchasingBuyer was telling us:
PurchasingBuyer nous racontait que :

I am trying to create a template to enter business card requests. I
am trying to replicate the fields that are similar to "[Click here
and type name]" fields in the general templates, that came with
Microsoft Word. I would like to have a template where the user could
click on an area and begin typing their name, another area to type
their title, etc ... I'm completely stuck on this and got no response
from my company's IT department.


I bet those IT people are too ashamed (or too proud?) to tell you they do
not know how... Which is OK, really, because they are not Word specialist
after all.

An easy way to do that is as follows:

Do CTRL-F9,
A pair of {} will appear,
Between the {} (Which must be inserted via CTRL-F9. and not pasted in from
here), type the following
MACROBUTTON nomacro Click here and type name
Repeat everywhere you want those fields,
When you are done, do ALT-F9 to toggle the field code display back to normal
text,
Select the first one,
Type the text,
Do F11 and the cursor will jump to the next field.

Salut!
