The last time I used a check box I clicked on the legacy tools and clicked the check box icon and there was a check box .
When I went to generate a form recently I repeated the same process above and instead of getting a check box I got{FORMCHECKBOX}....help its driving me crazy

Not entirely sure, but that seems like just a field "header" (not sure of the correct term).

Perhaps someone with a tad more VBA knowledge will reply.

Edit:
I just tried this, and yeah, I dropped a check box right into the template. Since you mention "legacy", are you using Word 2007? Do you need to save the template as an older version of the .dot file? (i.e., compatible with Word 2k3 or earlier?)

Curiosity: Is there a .dotx filetype?
