Since you're using Office 2007, is there a reason for not using Content Controls instead of Formfields? You wouldn't have any of these issues with Content Controls - and the document doesn't even need to be protected for them to work. I know Office 2007 doesn't support checkbox Content Controls, but that can easily be worked around with a dropdown Content Control.
