Proposal form that is used often. Fields would be filled in with text
such as names, dates, numbers.

You may want a protected form:

Or you may be better off with MacroButton fields set up with "Click here and
type" prompts:

The "gold-plated" approach is a macro-driven userform (custom dialog) that
collects the information and inserts it in the correct places in the
document:

Whatever approach you take, make it a template that you can choose in the
File > New dialog to base new documents. That's much better than trying to
re-use previously filled form documents.
