To edit a Word template: If the file is locked, you must unlock it. Newer versions of Word will have a button at the top to "Enable editing". If you have an older version of Word, use the Help tab to learn how to unlock the document. It might be under the Protect settings. To edit text - click the Text tab. With most versions of Word you can click the text you'd like to change and simply delete it or type the new text over the old. Once you're done editing the template, be sure to click "Save".
