1. Open the Modern business letter serif template. 2. Search in the LibreOffice help for fields 3. Find https://help.libreoffice.org/5.4/en-US/text/swriter/guide/fields.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=WIN The help claims Placeholder, hidden text, insert reference, variable, database, and user-defined fields display a help tip when you rest the mouse pointer over the field in a document. To enable this feature, ensure that the Extended Tips option (What's This?) is selected in the Help menu. This doesn't seem correct. If you try this with the placeholder fields on this template, nothing happens, regardless of whether you rest the mouse pointer over a field or click, regardless of whether View > Field Names is on or not. Suggested fix: Delete this entire paragraph, or document the circumstances in which it works. Hmm, from bug 98300 maybe it and other mentions of help tips/What's this should be prefixed with the {{boilerplate}} "If you have LibreOffice built-in help installed on your computer..."

I removed the paragraph; it seemed quite unhelpful to me.
