Word Form Protection Problem

I have a Word Form that I have created to allow data entry in either a check box or a text field. When I protected the sheet the tabbing features worked where I could tab from check box to text field back to check box.

After this was created I wanted to had a merge file with Name and Address. I unprotected the Word Form, added my merge, then saved to a new file. When I go to protect this file, the tabbing feature only works on the check boxes but not the text fields.

Can anyone help me with this problem?
 
Using Word XP? If so, Protect and Unprotect using the 'lock' button on the Form Toolbar and not through the menu.
