Default Editing Template Forms

When someone fills out my template form and saves it as a document, I cannot
rewrite anything they have put in the fields, even when I take off the
protection. Is that the way it is designed? Once you save it it is carved
in stone and the only way to edit it is to start over with a new template?

Thanks

Thanks for replying. When I click on the form field, the whole field gets
highlighted. I can't put a cursor in it to, say - take out a sentence or
clean up the language. My only option is to leave it the way they left it or
erase the whole field.--
Thanks
