Is there a way to prevent this from happening, i.e. a way to "lock" the document format so I can just type over it, so to speak?

There are several ways to do this, the simplest being putting your entry points in a table with bottom cell borders instead of underlining and with fixed cell size. You may want to be using legacy form fields rather than content controls for this with a locked form.
See the Dian Chapman articles linked in my
