Default Change text colour for content control labels?

Hi there,

I'm making a document template, and I'm using content controls. I want to make sure that the parts that require data entry are clearly visible (eg highlighting them, or having a brighter colour font). However, I don't want the highlights to remain once data has been entered.



When I say labels, I mean the "Choose an item".. "Click or tap here to enter text" text.

Any ideas of how to go about this?

Modify the style for Placeholder Text.

I would suggest a brighter color and Bold.
