Default Using legacy forms with text boxes? Any way around this?

I was given a problem yesterday about filling in legacy forms to put our organization's new donation forms on a website. The problem is that everything is inside of text boxes, so the legacy forms buttons are grayed out. What can we do here to fix this, short of making the entire thing over again without using boxes? They really want each "section" of the form to have that box outline, which is what apparently is causing our issues.

There used to be a way to convert text boxes into frames (the kind that can be inserted via the Legacy Tools button on the Developer tab), but it's no longer supported in Word 2007 and 2010. So I'm afraid this will require manual work.
