Microsoft Office Word 2007 question?

How do you make it so that a documnet becomes a form that can be filled out, like a template? Say this was the document:

Rental contract for _____ for ______.

The first blank is the name and the second is the date. How can I make it so those blanks are fields that if I click on them, I can fill them out without having to worry about pushing the text back, etc.? Am I making sense? How do I make it so it's like filling out a form?

Type 鈥楻ental contract for鈥?and leave a space after it. Turn on your 'Forms' toolbar and insert a 鈥楾ext Form Field鈥?(looks like (ab|)) from the toolbar. Leave a space after it and insert another 鈥楾ext Form Field鈥?To remove shading from the fields click on the button with an 鈥榓鈥?on it. You must 'Protect' the form before you can use it, do this by clicking on the button that looks like a lock. You won't be able to add any other text while the document is locked, so include all the text you need before locking. To unlock just click on the button again.
