Where are metadata captions or titles saved? Often when I am entering metadata in LR (the real LR installed on my computer) I see previous captions and titles from previous work. Where are these saved captions and titles saved?

"the real LR installed on my computer"

Both Lightroom Classic and Lightroom (desktop) are real Lightroom applications installed on your computer.

Stored / Saved in the Catalog!

And also in RGB +DNG files, or XMP sidecar files, IF you Save metadata to files.

How do I access these saved bits of data to modify or delete or do with whatever I like, as if in a word processing program?

In the right panel of the Library module, under Metadata. There are different views you can choose to see all the metadata that can be changed, or just a subset.
