How does one enter a place marker such as 'Click & type' or 'Enter text
here' that disappears as soon as the user types in it?

Use a macrobutton field (best if placed in the template).
Type: Macrobutton NoMacro "Click and type here"
Select the whole thing and press CTRL+F9
Right click and press toggle field codes.

Greg & Stephen,
Many thanks to you both. Appreciate the lead to the tutorials, too,
Stephen. In Word 2002, however, instead of
{ MACROBUTTON NoMacro [Click here and type name] }
it is
{ MACROBUTTON ActivateObject [Click here and type name] }
There is no function 'NoMacro'.

Hi Chuck,
When you're using the MacroButton field strictly as a replaceable
placeholder, NoMacro works just fine. In fact, the point of it is that
there's no macro named NoMacro -- it's supposed to be self-documenting. You
could use any word that doesn't execute an action, and the field will still
be selected when you click it.
