Default Is it possible to not select all text upon entering a form field?

I am creating a document in Word for Mac 2011 that contains multiple form fields. Whenever I tab into a form field, all of the text in that field is automatically selected, which makes it very easy to accidentally overwrite with a single keystroke.

Is there are way to make it so that all of the text is not automatically selected, but so that the cursor is either at the end of the text in the form field or to have the cursor wherever it was when the user was last in that particular form field?

Some googling has led me to believe that changing the EnterFieldBehavior property may be the answer, but I have no idea how to edit this property.

Any help is appreciated.
