Default Why can't I check the check boxes in a Word document?

For Word up to 2003 the protect button is on the forms toolbar.
For Word 2007 the protect button is on the Developer ribbon

I've downloaded a .doc file from a government website which happens
to be a job application. In order to fill it out, I need to tick
check boxes. However, when I click on them, absolutely nothing
happens. If I double-click on them, some random "code" page comes up
(I have no idea what this is) which I've never seen before.

How can I get Word to let me tick the check boxes? My employment
prospects are relying on it! Please help!
