How to turn "a list of bullet points" into a "task check list/box" ?

Hi,

I am using Office Word 2003.

I am creating a list with the following tasks e.g.

Buy milk
Buy cereal
Go to grocery shop
Go to Tailor shop

I have typed the above four lines in Word 2003.

Is there a way that I can add automatically 4 square boxes in front of
these four tasks. So that, when I am done, I can tick off/check that
square... (something like the Tasks layout in Palm pilot) ???

Thanks

cheers

Do you want to print the list out and check off the items or check them off
within Word?

I want to check them within Word - first, i want to find a way of
adding blank square in front of the 4 items, and after I am done with
one of the items, I can insert a "tick" symbol, meaning that I am done
with the task.

Is there an automatic/easy way of doing this?

thanks.
