Default Don't clear form fields when protecting as a form


Word 2010
I have some Word forms (form fields in tables) that are used for ongoing collection of information. The documents are protected as forms. Sometimes it is necessary to edit the form (the text, not the form field contents), so I unprotect and make the change. When I re-protect as a form, the form fields are all cleared. I press Ctrl + Z to undo, but would rather not have the form fields cleared in the first place. Is this possible?
