Printing check boxes from Word

I have created a word template which is populated at runtime from a SQL server database. The Word template has several check boxes relating to paragraphs of text. The check boxes are merely to indicate which paragraph the user is referring to and although VBA is used elsewhere on the document, there is no code relating to the check boxes.

At runtime the data fields are populated ok and the check boxes work aswell, however when the document is printed unchecked boxes print as checked. If the document is saved, exited and reopened the document prints correctly.

I'm using word 97 on Windows NT and the users create the document from Windows Termnal server. I have stepped through the code and checked the value of each checkbox just before printing and they all tally with what is displayed on the screen, but when printing odd unchecked boxes print as checked.

Please help if you can it's driving me mad and makes me look like a real plonker.
