Surely you would be better using Content Controls for both the combo-boxes and the checkboxes rather than active-x elements? However check box content controls were only introduced with Word 2010 so it would depend on your target users.

Otherwise add the following to the end of your code

Code:

    If ActiveDocument.FormsDesign = True Then
        ActiveDocument.ToggleFormsDesign
    End If
