MS word school reoprt template

Hi all,
     I guess the attached template was made using MS word.  There are a number of boxes that once clicked have an X inserted or removed and this works with Libre/open office in Mint9 and Mint12.  Saving as a MS word .doc and the X's get lost.  Once saved I checked the doc on my work machine with up-to-date MS software and even the boxes were lost.

LibreOffice 3.4.4

     I also have a laptop so I'll get the MS WORD installed from work so that my wife can use the template.  I thought that you would be interested.  This is the first time I've had an issue with open/libre office, I use it for everything, even the French grammar keeps me straight.  I guess I should import the MS TTF to be 100% compatible as I have had a few minor format issues from time to time but nothing I could not fix.  Regards Ian.
