Using checkboxes and text boxes to build questionnaire

Can anyone help.
I've constructed a simple client questionnaire in Word, using checkboxes and
textboxes.
The purpose is for clients to complete the Word document and return it to us
as an updated e-mail attachment.
Everything's fine through the Design mode and when I exit Design mode. I can
click in each text box and add text, and check each checkbox.
However, as soon as I click the toolbar padlock icon, to protect the
document, clicking into any of the first series of textboxes automatically
activates the first checkbox.
If I switch the padlock off, I'm back to a useable form. Any thoughts as to
what the problem is... and, more importantly, the fix?
Thanks in anticipation,

The controls on the design toolbar are not intended for use in protected
forms.
Use check box form fields and text form fields if you want a protected form.
