You need to make checklists an option in bullets and numbering.

In ClarisWorks on bulleted lists, there was a checklist option. If you
selected it, your bullets would be little boxes. Once you had created the
list, if you clicked on the box, it would be checked. If you clicked again,
the check would go away - like an on/off switch. It was a simple way to
create checklists on your computer, and to keep them updated by checking off
on your computer those tasks you had completed. It seems so simple I'm
surprised and disappointed that Microsoft Word doesn't have this feature.
You should incorporated it into your next version. In fact, you should make
the feature available as an update to existing versions of word (Like the one
I have - Word 2000), or else you should give me a new version of Windows, and
a new version of Word, since I gave you this excellent idea!
