Default CheckBox - Can't Edit

You can insert section breaks to isolate a portion of the
document, and then enable protection in that section only. Or
you can create check boxes that do not require document
protection to function. See
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Add_Toggle_Objects.htm and
http://www.addbalance.com/word/downl...#CheckboxAddIn for
several different ways to make checkboxes.

I have a Table in Word and have inserted check boxes. Was told I have to
Protect Document and Restrict Formatting to be able to tick the boxes on/off.
But this disallows me to edit other parts of the document. Am looking to
have a document that is a checklist for a group of users - all should be able
to tick boxes on/off and add text to the other columns in table.
Is this not possible without going through Protect/Unprotect, etc?
cheers,
