--- Comment #3 from Dave <d59133t at hotmail.com> ---
I applied the first workaround mentioned and it worked perfectly (with minor
bouts of user error).  For 35 insertions it took about 10 minutes.  To complete
the form, I have another 250 or so to go.

It seems like the bug fix portion is something that would be beneficial to the
program as a whole.  But I am looking at a basic function of form creating from
an end-user point of view. 

IMO it still seems best to me as an enhancement.  It would be a clear cut and
efficient way to designate cells as fillable text boxes would be a marketable
feature for form-creation enthusiasts (or slaves- depending on the case). 
Perhaps the feature could simply be something like a macro "under the hood"
that would insert textbox, anchor to cell-resize with cell, and fit to cell
size for all selected cells.  The programming could do it cell by cell if the
universal change has too many issues.
