No, that macro is just a once-off, to correct the placeholder text for the date controls. There is no need to keep it in the document or its template (if you're using a template, run the macro against that).

That's awesome. Thank you so much for all of your hard work and patience

FYI: The run-time error keeps coming up, so I'll just have to get a macro to execute that macro when the document is opened so that the user doesn't experience the error.

Thanks again

Try the attached. I've done a bit of re-organising of your content control names & placeholder text, plus protecting them from deletion. I've left the code used for the latter in the document, so you can see what was done, but there's no particular reason to keep it unless you want to.

Thank you!

How do I unlock the formatting (so I can use my content)?

I haven't done anything to 'lock' the formatting. The macro does have:
which ensures they stay at the 8pt size and that the date control remains in italics. The preferred way of controlling font attributes, as I said previously, is through the use of Styles, in which case, those lines wouldn't be needed.
