Sorry for the quality, this is a basic run thru of customizing you're Title Block to carry meta data from both the model and the drawing properties to the title fields.
I go through it too quick, I say "ok" and "Umm" to much, and I SUUUUUCK at editing, but hopefully you can grind through it and pick up some tips.

I followed the steps and tried to create another title block for a separate table that I made at the top of my sheet, but it just loads up the same title block I already created when I click title block fields. Can I only create 1?

I just want to create one field that I can later write whatever I want in it. I have not find anything that shows that. All I see in the entire internet is "automatic" fill up title block fields... Any tip?

Yeah, I would Use "Title Block Fields". Edit the Sheet format and add in the Text Boxes that you need, Go the the "Sheet Format" tab on your ribbon and select the "Title Block Fields" Tool, and go through the wizard. You can then exit the "Edit Sheet Format" The text box will be editable when in Standard drawing space, and you can tab through them, but the text box itself will be un-editable (size and location) unless entering sheet format again. Hope that helps and Here are some photos from Cati for clarification: www.cati.com/blog/solidworks-what-is-title-block-fields/

How did you switch from mm to in on the sheet size?

There's a one minute fix or a ten minute fix. The simple way is in the lowest right corner of solid works, there is a Document Unit Box (in my case it's right above me desktop clock). If you are in metric, yours will say MMGS or MKS. Click these letters and scroll up to IPS to be in inches, or custom if you need to go more in depth. The other approach is to go through the document properties and make changes there. This should be down when setting up a template for the future.
