We use Word to create forms that we send using Outlook.

We'd like to use checkboxes at the top of our e-mail communications to
indicate the target audience. The idea is that we check the boxes
before sending the e-mail, and then our audience can easily determine
whether tthey need o read the message

We've tried using Word's Checkbox Form Field, but the boxes we create
vanish when the document is e-mailed.

We can see the checkboon screen, check and uncheck them without issue,
and they print correctly on the hard copy, but the checkboxes
completely vanish when we e-mail the document. We're sending the
documents via Outll,using the e-mail toolbar in Word. I've tried e-mail
the document as both protected and non-porotected, but that doesn't
seem to matter.

I'm wondering why this happens?
