"This modification is not allowed because this selection is locked" In Word 2010

When ever I try to use the checklist feature, all it says is "this modification is not allowed because this selection is locked" when I try to type anything in. It is a new document that I did not download form anywhere. Here is the screen shot:

Answer
While the cursor is inside the content control (the blue box), the only character that is accepted is a space. Pressing the spacebar toggles the check box from unchecked to checked and vice versa. If you want to type anything else, you must first move the cursor outside the blue box by using the arrow keys or the Home/End keys.
