Default Help with text boxes

Hey,



i have a problem with using text boxes (or maybe there is another tool to do what I need to do but I don't know it).

So, I have these forms for different contracts that need updating.

The form now looks like this:
This is a contract made between __________, who represents company A and _________________, who represents company B.
The lines are made just by using underlined text and clicking space a lot. The problem is that no one knows for sure what to write on the lines except the person who wrote the form. I want to replace the lines with some kind of a text box that would say "Name and Surname" and when you would click on the box you would be able to write your name and surname in the box without erasing what was previously written.



I am using word 2010.
Any ideas??
