// In Microsoft Word, we can insert these fields via the Legacy Tools menu in the Developer tab.
Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "Form fields.docx");

FieldFormCheckBox fieldFormCheckBox = (FieldFormCheckBox)doc.Range.Fields[1];
Assert.AreEqual(" FORMCHECKBOX \u0001", fieldFormCheckBox.GetFieldCode());

FieldFormDropDown fieldFormDropDown = (FieldFormDropDown)doc.Range.Fields[2];
