Basic question about templates and fields

[VerianDarkstar]

I open a new document in Word 2007, and use one of the letter templates. It
has a lot of fields like "[Your Name]" and "[Recipient Name]" and "[City, ST
ZIP Code]". I want to fill in these fields. How do I do that? When I
select the field and type something in, it appears to simply overwrite the
field rather than "fill it in." Thanks in advance for the help.

That's the way they work. See
