Default Form fields in text boxes in Word 2003?

Can anybody tell me for certain if I can put form fields in a text box? It
appears I cannot. If I create a text box, Word won't let me put form fields
into it. If I create the fields first, then select the text and create a
text box, Word inactivates the form fields. I can create a line border
around some form fields, but I cannot seem to arrange two of these
side-by-side (horizontally) the way I can arrange two text boxes.

The forms I'm working on are not locked. Other form fields (non-boxed,
non-framed) on the same document function well.

Any ideas how I can create two side-by-side, framed sets of form fields, in
other words, two small side-by-side boxes with forms inside them? Thanks for
your help.
