Default building block control wont work when protected as form

I have been trying to set up form letters etc in Word.

I have managed to struggle through Microsoft's hopelessly inadequate help in
Word 07 and online, stumbled accross some good 3rd party blogs etc so that I
now have a limited understanding on the content controls.

I have even managed to work out how to set up autotext to use with the
building block control so that I can select the paragraph appropriate to the
circumstances for my lettter - it works great if the document is not
protected in any way.

However when I protect the document to 'fill in forms only' this content
control becomes inactive. If I dont protect the document I loose the benefits
of the automation etc.

the other option is to set the document as read only and allow editing to
some areas, however I find this frustating as I have to click next editable
field - is there a keyboard shortcut for moving between editable fields.

My preference is to enable the building block content control while the
filling in forms protection is on.

Any suggestions.....
