RE: What happened to the checkbox that could be inserted into a Wo   
I followed all the instructions offered, and it really did work.  

The tools you need can be found by clicking of the Office logo and going to 
Options on the bottom right.

But you don't have to do any of that.  All you have to do is open your form, 
place the cursor in the box, then double left click.  A box pops up that 
allows you to have the box checked or unchecked.  It's that simple!  Awesome! 
 I discovered this completely by accident!

Re: What happened to the checkbox that could be inserted into a Wo   
If you're actually *using* a protected form, you should be able to check a 
check box by clicking on it or, if you've tabbed into it, by pressing the 
Spacebar. The Form Field Options dialog (which you get by double-clicking 
would not be available to you if the document were protected, which it needs 
to be before you can use it as a form.
