Default how to make instructional placeholder text disappear

I'm trying to create a software design doc that the developers are to use. I
have the headings already and the developers are pretty good with Word. This
doc is going to be a cross between a template and a form. The boss wants me
to create it with placeholders telling them what to insert after the
headings, and he wants the placeholder instructional text to disappear when
they start typing. Any guidance is appreciated!
