Office 2013 showing distorted text boxes when opened in protected view

Hi,

I've created a document in Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013. On the first page of the document I have an image and there are few editable text boxes on that image. 

The problem is that the document is working fine but when I email it to somebody via Outlook and they open it in the same version of Word, the document opens in the Protected view and all the text boxes positions change, they become distorted and text written in those text boxes isn't shown properly. As soon, as "Enable editing" is clicked, the document looks fine. But in protected view all the text boxes are distorted.

Please let me know if there is any solution for this.

Thanks.

Likely the problem is that the document is opening not just in Protected View but also in Read Mode. This can be avoided but not by anything you can do, as it is a setting at the recipient's end.
