Unable to check checkboxes

I don't know what I inadvertently did, but I'm not able to
click-check/uncheck the checkboxes in a word doc anymore, unlike previously.
Must have fouled up some settings.

Any suggestions?

TIA
Max

 

Is the document protected for forms? If these are check box form fields, the
document must be protected before they will work.

There are a number of ways to handle checkboxes in documents / templates.
Take a look at the Checkbox template available at <URL:

Yes, that was it. Thanks, Suzanne.
