Word 2007 Fill-in forms not working for Word 2003 users

I created a form with fill-in capabilities. It works fine for 2007 users,
but Word 2003 users cannot even click on the fill-in boxes. I tried saving
the document as 2007 w/2003 compatibility, and I also tried saving the
document as a Word 2003 doc...but it still doesn't work. Any idea what is
happening and what I should do?

If you used content controls, then you will have to redo the form, as they
were added in Word 2007 and are not backward-compatible.
