I have a list of "to do" items and marked each one with a check box. This
works okey for paper use, checking out each item by markings on the paper.

How do I use this list/the check boxes when I want to check out items
directly in Word by just ticking off each box?

You can create a form with checkboxes, but it's kind of pointless, unless
you do the same things over and over.
Outlook's To Do list is much simpler, and ready to use.

There are a number of ways to create and use clickable checkboxes in
documents / templates. Some require protected or locked forms, others do
not. Take a look at the Checkbox template available at
http://www.addbalance.com/word/downl...#CheckboxAddIn for an exploration
of these.
