forms - editing within a form field

[Jayne]

I have created a basic form using the "forms" toolbar. My problem is when I
try to edit within the form field paragraph ("abc" on toolbar) the whole
paragraph is highlighted, (or recognised as one) making it hard to click your
curser on one word within this paragraph to edit.

Is there another way to avoid this and still add (easy to edit) text within
the form?

I hope this problem makes sense. Any suggestions welcomed......

I am working in word 2003, using the forms toolbar. "abc" is the first
button on the toolbar which inserts a text form field. This allows you to
type within the text form field - my problem is editing this text, double
clicking highlights all the text within the form field... it seems the only
way to edit is with the arrow keys....

Thank you for your help.....

Thanks Cindy... yes you are right the button does not have a "c" on it... and
I am single clicking into the paragraph and the whole paragraph highlights!
I cannot just highlight one word and delete it within the "text form field".

Within the "text form field" I have inserted bulletted comments - would this
affect it?

Thank you for your time.... Jayne (in Australia)

How did you get the "bulleted comments" into the formfield?
