Default Textbox(s) not taking focus

Hi ?B?YXdyZXg=?=,

Sorry for the late reply...

This is Word 2003.... (11.8106.8107) SP2

Just the standard text box from the control toolbar. Actually any document
that I have added text boxes to, I get the same result.

The "Controls Toolbox", then?

And are the textboxes formatted graphically to be "inline with text" or do they have
textflow formatting applied?

I take it you have NOT protected the document as a form?

This may sound a little weird. I have a word doc with 7 text fields, though
when I use the mouse to select any of the fields, they don't take focus on
the first click but on the second click. I played with this a bit and entered
text in them all and attempted to ctrl+a each field and the result was the
same, I would have to repeat the action twice before it would work. Then I
went to delete the text and the result was the same again, it required two
actions to make it happen.

I've never had this issue with any Office product that I can think of.

Any ideas/thoughts on this?

Which tool did you use to insert these "text fields"? And which versin of Word?

This is only the one document?
