Unhappy How do I link textboxes so that they are edible after protecting the word doc ?

Hi there. I'm having a problem restricting a word doc and keeping the linked textboxes edible. Say I have a textbox in one line and I want it to continue in the next line in a way that if the upper box gets full it automatically continues typing on the lower box (regular textboxes linking). When I set restrictions to prevent users for changing the doc format I'm unnable to edit the textboxes. Plus, if I use the boxes on the Developers tab, I can't get them linked like I described previously. If i use normal textboxes, I can restrict editing to view only and if I select the linked textboxes and set edible to everyone they work but I can't get rid of the brackets (I have view bookmarks option off). It appears as intended if after protecting the doc as view only I uncheck the "highlight areas I can edit" box but everytime I open the doc that option is enabled again and I want the target people that acess the document to get the correct display straight away. Any ideas ?
