Default Checkboxes

I have created a check box. I have tried using the control toolbox check box
and the form check box.

I need to be able to "check" the check box, but still be able to type in the
document. How are you able to achieve this, because when I lock the document
to allow the check boxes to be checked, it does not allow me to type anything.

Any ideas?
Thanks
Shaz

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.
