Checking a checkbox formfield with a click on a document

[Dale]

I was wondering if through VBA a user could click or doublclick on a
checkbox formfield and and it would switch between checked and
unchecked. I have created a userform where for the doc where the user
can click on a check box or option box and it fills in the
corresponding formfield on the document. However the users would like
it if they could just doubleclick on the checkbox on the document
itself and the box would be checked or unchecked. Right now the only
way I see that it can be done is either doubleclicking or right click
and in the properties window choosing checked on not checked. Is there
is a way of bypassing this all together?

I have tried inserting a checkbox from the control toolbox and that
doesn't do what I need.

Thanks in advance!

If the document in which the checkbox type formfield is located is
protected for forms, then clicking on the check box will toggle it between
being checked and unchecked.
