Default How do i keep text boxes open in a protected form or document?

i am trying to link two text boxes in a form so that when one text box is
full it automatically moves to the second box. I want to keep the form
protected. When i protect the form the text boxes are also locked. I want
the funtionality the same as a text form field which does allow typing when
the form is protected. is this possible?

No, text boxes cannot be accessed in a document which is protected for
forms. Theoretically there could be a way around this in Word 2003,
because it offers more advanced options for document protection, but I
haven't tried that version, so I don't know.
