Word 2003 Problem

[GreatWaffleVII]

I recently volunteered to work at this preschool program HeadStart or
something like that and I was given the task of translating a few documents
and to also reformat a few other files. They told me to make a document to
where you can type type in a blank and not mess the whole form up. I have
Word 2003.

ex.

I have no _____ what's going on. <---this is what i currently have
I have no __idea_____ what's going on. <---this is what happens when i type
in the blank.
I have no idea what's going on. <---this is what they want.

i know it sounds a bit confusing. I'm basically looking for a way to put in
"fill in the blanks" that you can fill on the computer without making all
your other characters shift. Please if anyone knows of a way to do this,
respond to my thread. =/
