word 2003 to word 2007

I have a 2003 word document with checkboxes on it. When we went to Office
2007 the checkboxes no longer work. Any ideas on a fix?

Not being familiar at all with macros, I think they were set up with macros,
if that makes sence. If you double click on the box it will check or uncheck
it... I'll double check when I get to the office for some more information.
Thanks,

If you need a dynamic (clickable) checkbox, 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. Some utilize code, others do not.

It's odd that the checkboxes you can download from the Microsoft website
don't work either. Is this a problem with our PC's?
