Default Cannot Create Editable Text Inside Shape

Hi all,

I'm really hoping you may be able to help me out with something that's been driving me crazy.
Essentially I have a document I want to be able to lock (restrict editing) whilst only letting users (students) add their name at the top and then write in the three boxes (shapes). The name is working perfectly, but for some reason when I try and edit the text in the three boxes it selects the box and doesn't let me edit to the text. It's driving me crazy.
Any help would be so appreciated. I've attached the document. It is currently restricted but there is no password on the file.



Regards,
Tim.

Oh man I just figured it out. Rather than the 'Filling In Forms' option. I just went the read only option and selected the parts I did want to user to edit and it worked!
