Default Word 2003 Changes Form Field Style

Hi ?B?RWQgTi4gLSBOLiBWQQ==?=,

Looking for some help with this problem:

Form field document created in Word 2000, subsequently edited and saved with
Word 2003. The fields have different formatting to include font and font
size. When the document is protected without a password (click lock on forms
toolbar) everything works as expected. However, when the document is
protected with a password, every field format changes to the Normal style
(Times New Roman, 12 pt) when any data is typed into it.

Hmmm, under certain circumstances I see this behavior even without protecting
with a password. But if I create specific character styles for this formatting
and apply them to the form fields, the formatting is respected when the
document is protected.
