forms editing within the "text form field"

[Jayne]

Using word 2003, and the forms toolbar - I have created a basic form for
users to fill in. Areas to be filled in have a text form field inserted
("ab" first button on forms toolbar). Form field options are set on regular
text.

When trying to edit the text within the "text form field" it seems to act as
1 paragraph and highlights everything within that form field. It makes it
impossible to hightlight just one word or place your curser into the
paragraph using your mouse..... Editing within this field is limited to
arrow keys and backspacing.

Does anyone have any ideas how to overcome this..... pleeeeease.......
