[bcab] forms field in word

I can't get to the point where I modify a form field (this is when designing the form, not filling it in).
I've gone into view from the main menu, cursored to toolbar, pressed enter and gone down to forms, pressed enter and it drops me back into the origianl document. So far so good.
Now if I press alt and then start trying to do control and tab word starts behaving unpredictably, and no combination of keystrokes gets me to the point where I can enter descriptive help text against a text field or check box. 

It's word 2003 by the way.
