Default Opening Macro-Enabled Docs in Mac Version

I've created a table with macro-enabled check boxes, which works fine on PC
units; however, the Mac users (2004/2008) either cannot get the check boxes
to work or they canot even open the .docm file. Is there a way to modify the
file so that they will also be able to click in a check box to display a
checkmark? I wanted to avoid their having to click in a checkbox that
required their double-clicking on it and selecting Checked from the options.

Remove the macro and add regular form fields. Then protect the document and
send it as a "docx" and it should open within the mac environment as well. It
is the protection of the document which activates the form fileds = aka the
check boxes.
