Editing Password protected form fields in Word 2007

[Veera]

We have created a Word document with a legacy text form field. We inserted a

word date field and protected the document allowing Filling in Forms. After

protecting the document when we try going to the form field and clicking on

back space to delete the entry we get "This is not a valid selection" message

box.



We have existing word documents in 2003 with similar form fields. We were

able to delete the entries and add new data. After converting the documents

to 2007 or create new documents in 2007 and try to delete the entries we get

the above error.

Moved to Word Forum as the question is relevant in that forum.
