Default Preventing text from moving when my form is filled in Word 2003?

I created an Employee Emergency Contact Form using Word 2003.
Above each request for information I placed a text form field box.
I lock the document to prevent changes, and allow employees to fill in the
text form field boxes.
However, the words and text form field boxes move as text is entered into
them.
How do I prevent the text from moving on the page?

The usual approach is to put the text form fields in (borderless) tables
with auto resizing disabled and exact row height and preferred column width
set.
