Checkbox formfields don't have content control frames!

Note: You should not use formfields and content controls in the same document. They were not designed to work together and can lead to inconsistent behaviour if you try to.

Thanks macropod for answer
That's just an example. I do not use both.
I'm worried about having a check box where I can change the symbol?
As shown in the picture that is framed red.

I solved the problem. 'Check Box Content Control' works when I do not save Word document in compatible mode.

True, Content Control Check Boxes are not supported in Compatibility mode. And Content Controls of any kind are not supported in the older .doc format.
