Looks like a checkbox from the forms toolbar. These are supposed to be used
with the document protected for forms. 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.

What have I got here? Some kind of a form -- it's got
checkboxes. If you click on one, you get a dialog box. They have
gray shading.

I want to keep the checkboxes, and I'd like a user to pick one
and check it. But I don't want the dialog boxes or the gray shading.

I'm dealing with something new -- for me. ;-) Using Word 2000 on
XP Home.
