Default Protecting document

I wish to allow any user to be able to edit text box contents - NOT size - and also check/uncheck the check-box controls I placed on it. I know this should be simple, but I am lost. I can restrict the text boxes alright, but then can't also get the checkboxes to function.

I have been playing around with protection: Edit Restrictions and tried Filling in Forms and also tried "No Changes", then attempted to designate the text boxes and checkbox controls, but kept stumbling.

Can someone give me a shove in the right direction or am I barking at the moon here?

Try using a single-cell, borderless table with a fixed column width & row height.
