Excel 2016 Text boxes

Question

Ok, I am old school and Excel 2016 has some things I don't get, so a little patience with giving me a clue is appreciated.

I used to do forms in excel with text boxes that could be protected and would populate by tabbing from text box to text box and the text boxes populated.  At least that is what I remember.

Now I did the same thing in 2016 and when I put in the text box I can edit it, but I have to go pick each one right click and scroll to edit.  

When I pick the box it defaults in the formula line to =EMBED("Forms.TextBox.1","").  Is there some way I can set this up to tab preferably from one to the other and just input or at least set it up so when I mouse to it and click on it simply lets me enter the text and move on.

I obviously have got something wrong, and I am stumped.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  If I can't do what I want to, that's ok, but I feel like I am probably missing something easy to get where I want to go and I apparently lack the capacity to see it.  I have searched the web for a simple fix, but ...

It seems that the procedure that you want is not available in Excel 2016 but you can post on uservoice to raise this concern
