The controls on the design toolbar are not intended for use in protected
forms.
Use check box form fields and text form fields if you want a protected form.

Can anyone help.
I've constructed a simple client questionnaire in Word, using
checkboxes and textboxes.
The purpose is for clients to complete the Word document and return
it to us as an updated e-mail attachment.
Everything's fine through the Design mode and when I exit Design
mode. I can click in each text box and add text, and check each
checkbox.
However, as soon as I click the toolbar padlock icon, to protect the
document, clicking into any of the first series of textboxes
automatically activates the first checkbox.
If I switch the padlock off, I'm back to a useable form. Any thoughts
as to what the problem is... and, more importantly, the fix?
Thanks in anticipation,
