In MS Word, there is a field available similar to the "Input Field" in OOo 
Writeer, called "Text Form Field".  You are able to create a Word file with 
these fields, then protect the document, and users are only able to edit the 
text fields (navigation is done by tabbing between fields)

This seems to be missing in OOo.  When I convert any of our Word templates, 
the ott file changes the "Text Form Fields" to "Input Fields".  These fields 
are really difficult to use.  When you open the Writer file you are prompted, 
one at a time with a popup, to input the values for the fields.  You are not 
able to determine which input field the current popup is on.  

I would like if the input fields allowed direct editing of text rather than 
using a popup window.  And the ability to tab between them, and not be 
presented with all the popups upon opening the document.
