I think I may have found my answer in someone elses post. Sorry for wasting time. As I said, am new to all things Mac and forums 🙂
I was curious if I could create a document that has locked text except for where I want to type in information.
Ie. If the document says Date: I would like the "date" text to be uneditable, but to be able to type in the date... if that makes sense.

While Peter is checking his records, I'll mention the first thought I had on reading your request. You could create a document with only the fixed information and Print or Export it to PDF. Then Insert the PDF into a Pages document as a Floating Object and Place Text Boxes where you want to be able to input variable text.
