You can't change it in a protected form. However, 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/download.htm#CheckboxAddIn for an exploration
of these. The other methods will allow a tick or check mark instead of an X.
