You should not have used anything from the Controls Toolbox. There are a
number of ways to create and use clickable checkboxes in documents /
templates. Some require protected or locked forms, others do not. Take a
look at the Checkbox template available at
http://www.addbalance.com/word/download.htm#CheckboxAddIn for an exploration
of these.
If you want to protect a document and use checkboxes from the forms toolbar,
what we are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this in
help. For more about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles. You may also want to look at

Hope this helps,

I've created a document with yes/no questions trying to use a checkbox in
Word2003. However every time I save the document out of design mode,
close
the document and reopen, the document opens in design mode. Is there a
setting or a way to save the document so it opens out of design mode so a
user can simply check the box?
