Default problem w/2007 Content Controls and 2003 Legacy Form Field

When complete, this form needs to be a template. Will the advice you offer
still work if document protection is turned off?

I'm working on a form that includes both Word 2007 Content Controls
as well as legacy form fields from Word 2003.

The form path is: filling out several content control fields, then
the legacy checkbox fields, then more content control fields.

Problem: after filling out the legacy checkbox fields, cannot add
text to the content control fields that follow.

Do you have any advice on fixing this problem?


Replace the legacy check boxes with content controls, and remove the forms
protection. Greg Maxey has an add-in at
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Custom_CC_Checkboxes.htm just for that purpose.
