The secret is that you have to "protect the document for forms" to make the
fields operate; until then, they're in a "design mode". See

We're running into problems getting the check boxes the way we want
them. Currently you have to double click and choose "Checked" as the
default on the document. We're trying to get them so that when you
click them, it automatically checks the box.
We're also trying to insert text field boxes that are gray shaded and
allow for users to insert information into the form field. The gray
box expands to accommodate the inserted information. Could you offer
any suggestions about how to do this or where to find more
instructions on these elements?
Thank you!
