Thanks, but it doesn't work: I get the toolbar, but what I wanted to
modify doesn't appear to be selectable with the select option from the
toolbar. It's probably something else than a form control. When I
click on what I want to modify to select it, most icons in the toolbar
stay grayed out.

Though I printed the form and filled it out by hand instead, it still
would be nice to know how to overcome such restrictions ...
