Default How to create auto-clear fields in Word


Hi all,

I am making an update form that will be used regularly by my boss. I want to create fields of highlighted text that will automatically delete when clicked on, for convenience and ease.

For example:
Phase 1 results: 1,029

With "Phase 1 results" as the category, and "1,029" being the amount entered on a daily basis, I would like for my boss to be able to simply click the text box that "1,029" is typed in and have it automatically delete the text. So rather than spending time deleting it, the new value can be entered immediately (there will be dozens of these fields in a row on the form). I would preferably like the text to be/ stay highlighted as well, so it is easy to identify all the fields that are changeable.

Is this an available function? I am working with Windows 7 on a PC.

Thanks in advance.
