It doesn't appear that this is going to work. Instead, you may have to
place separate text next to the content controls.
By the way, forms protection of the type you're using is meant only
for legacy form fields (which you'll find on the Legacy Tools button
in the Controls group). When you're using content controls, there's a
better alternative: After inserting the text and content controls,
select the entire document and insert a rich-text content control. Set
that one's properties to "cannot be edited" and "cannot be deleted".
The regular text will be protected against editing, but the embedded
content controls will still work.
The advantage of this method is that it doesn't disable spell
checking, hyperlinks, or other things that don't work in documents
that are protected for forms.
Unfortunately, it does turn off the title tags of the embedded content
controls. I don't see anything you can do about that.
