Default Locked Fields

Good Day,

I recently came across a Word Document with locked fields, that is I can
only type in those fields but not outside them. The fields have a gray
background and grow as needed. I cant delete or do anything else outside the
fields. My questions: how is this done? How can I unlock the document? Thanks
for your help.
