It sounds like you're selecting and replacing MACROBUTTON fields with
text. Toggle Field Codes to see the underlying field type you're dealing
with.

For the behavior you describe, you want to use Word Form Fields. For
these, the text of the document becomes "locked" and only the content of
the fields you create can be edited. You tab from field to field using
the Tab key, which does not insert a tab character.
