Thanks.

Maybe my expectations are incorrect or unreasonable?

If you click in a table cell, say Last Name, but click just on the right edge or to the right of the grey box (which for whatever reason I inadvertently do all the time!), the cursor jumps to the next field.

So, maybe it's technically "by design"? As in Word thinks the field is completed and jumps to the next field?

Can I work around this by either:
a. Making the field, ala "grey box" entirely fill up the cell so that no matter where the user clicks in the cell Word doesn't think that they're done; or
b. Somehow tell each field not to ever "auto jump" to the next field?
