I have created a document with a variety of text form
fields.  I have not protected the form as this the user
is free to make changes.
The document was created in Word 2002. I can select the
text field and overtype the default text.
When  this is attempted in Word 2003 the typed text does
not overtype the default text.  When I engage overtype
nothing can be entered.

How can I have 2003 act the same as 2002?

I have not protected the fields as it negates the F9
function on the Table of Contents and the user may want
to add or delete fields.

All suggestions are welcomed.
