I have created a form using a protected template that has an unprotected
section in the middle of it to allow for the insertion of a snapshot.
Problem is the user can't tab out of this section to the next field. When
the next field is clicked or double clicked, the entire field is not
highlighted as it should be. So what I am doing is asking the user to click
a field beyond the next one , then {Shift}{Tab} back to the correct one.

I'm wondering if there is a better way to handle this problem? Anybody have
any ideas?

Thank You

If a macro solution is acceptable/allowed you could assign a macro to an
agreed-on keyboard shortcut. The macro would select a specific form field. Say,
for example, the first field in the second section is named "MyText", then:

Sub SelectMyTextField()
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("MyText" _
).Range.Fields(1).Result.Select
End Sub
