Default insert Placeholder text in MS Word 2000

Hi, I have done a Letter template with some placeholder text.
I went "Insert - Field - Links and Ref - Placeholder.

everything works fine, I have done this on a mac, Office 2004.

No when I view this file on a Windows, Office 2000, the placeholder
does not work the same way. You would have to select the whole text,
and the function "Placeholder" is missing.

So what I need is a text for example, which says [Name] and when you
click on it, it disapears and you can type the name of your client.
Any suggestions how I can insert a "Placeholder" text in MS Word 2000.

Thanks, Dimitri
