We have a lot of templates that were created in Word 2010 with Windows 7 which contain Legacy check boxes. We are now migrating to Office 2013 and these checkboxes seem to have converted to a pictures and are no longer clickable boxes (protected or unprotected), neither works. If I delete these and replace them with new checkboxes via Word 2013 they work perfectly but I really do not wish to have to edit over 200 precedents to replace checkboxes.

We have tried on a machine running Word 2010 with Windows 10 and it still works so it is an office issue, not windows, however we have found that if we untick the windows setting for "Turn on Clear Type", the checkboxes are okay, but that causes a different set of problems so our IT department does not want to change this setting.

I attach 1 page of one of our templates containing these checkboxes, along with a screenshot of what it looks like on my computer, in case you don't see the same result I am seeing.

Has anyone found a solution to this problem?
