In order to activate the form you need to 'protect' it first.

To protect the form, on the forms toolbar you should see a little icon that
looks like a lock.

Click that, save and close. You should be able to go back in to the file and
click on the checkbox.

Keep in mind that if you want to edit the form again you'll need to unlock
it first, edit it, then lock it again.

I am using Word 2003. I have inserted checkboxes into the first cell
of a row in a Word table. I did this using the Forms menu. When I
click on the checkboxes, they do not populate with a check mark. My
cursor will only go before or after the checkbox, but not in it. It’s
as if the macro isn’t working. Are there some settings I need to
change/add? Thank you very much.
