We've recently discovered that it doesn't prevent you from entering anything
you like in the field, *and* it doesn't give you any kind of error message,
either. If the field is numeric and you create a number mask, then when you
enter numbers, they're formatted with that mask, but you can type your name
(or any other alphabetic text) and Word accepts it without demur. Clearly a
bug, and seems to be new in Word 2003 unless we're just now noticing it.
