In Word 2013 (not sure about previous versions) you can insert a form control checkbox and set its property to “Don’t allow delete”.
I am looking at the FormField type but am not seeing the “Don’t allow delete” property.
Any Ideas anyone ?

Hi Jan,
Thanks for your inquiry. Your query seems to be related to locking of content control (checkbox). You can interact with content controls by using StructuredDocumentTag class. Structured document tags (SDTs) allow to embed customer-defined semantics as well as its behavior and appearance into a document. Please check the ContentControl.png image for SDT or content control.
Unfortunately, Aspose.Words does not support the creation of content control of type Checkbox. However, I have logged this feature request as WORDSNET-8644 in our issue tracking system. You will be notified via this forum thread once this feature is available. We apologize for your inconvenience.
From the Developer’s tab in MS Word, you can insert FormFields. Please read following web link ‘How to: Show the Developer Tab on the Ribbon’.

Please check the legacy form controls in attached image (LegacyForms.png). The legacy form control (checkbox) have not locking property. Hope this answers your query. Please let us know if you have any more queries.
The issues you have found earlier (filed as WORDSNET-8644) have been fixed in this .NET update and this Java update.
