Hi,

I looks like you are using checkboxes from the Controls Toolbox. This is
seldom advisable. 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/downl...#CheckboxAddIn for an exploration
of these.

I have a problem when I use checkboxes in a word document(Word 2003). By
default, when I open a document, design mode is active. It causes
confusion
when I have to deploy forms to be used by other people. The user has to
exit
"design mode" before he can click on any of the check boxes. Is there a
way
of ensuring that a word document is opened with design mode off. I did
not
have this problem in earlier versions of Word
