Default Allow text selecting when GUI form is open?

Hi Folks. I have a little Word GUI that has a bunch of predefined find-and-replace definitions in it. I've noticed that with Word's built-in Find and Replace, you can select text from the currently-opened Word doc, even when the FaR dialog is opened.



With my custom VBA form tool though, I'm not allowed to select (or even click) ANYTHING while the GUI dialog is open.

Is it possible for me to allow text selection while my form is still open?
