Default Trying to Delete Hidden Fields?

Sorry, BCBC. I'm sure you've tried the unhide

I tried, but no luck. It did cause me to notice something that might be
related. After using Alt+F9, I placed my cursor in a blank cell. Normally,
when you use Tab, it will go to the next cell in the row and so on, until you
reach the end of the row and then it will go to the next row. However, where
ever there is what I thought was a hidden field, the cursor also disappears
for a few tabs before going to the next visible cell. Does this mean I have
hidden cells somewhere? If so, what can I do and why can I still tab to them
when the form is protected?

Try unprotecting the form and then Atl-F9 to reveal fields.

I am making edits to a pre-existing form with tables and form fields. When
testing the form, it seems that there are some hidden fields that can be
tabbed to, but they don't appear on the screen. In some instances, when the
cursor is in one field, I have to hit Tab five times before the cursor moves
to the next visible field. I'd like to get rid of the hidden fields so the
users don't get frustrated.

I have tried placing the cursor immediately after the first visible field
and using the Delete key several times, but that didn't solve the problem.
I'm using Word 2003.
