How to see a checkbox, or check the file to see if one is actually there?

I was sent a file and the creator has a few lists included in the sheet. The instructions state that I cannot make any changes to the form itself except my input, and I need to click on the square to make my selection. Unfortunately, I do not see a square or anything that looks like a control box.

I only see a list of options in one column (what i would choose from) and then next column lists the word "FALSE"

I think the intention is that I would see the checkboxes, and if I clicked one of them the word FALSE would become TRUE.

The problem is I do not see the checkboxes.

Is there a way to get these turned on, or where would I check to see if the user forgot to include these in the file?

Thanks!

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
It's possible that all objects are hidden -- press Ctrl/6 (not F6) and see if you see the checkboxes
