How to insert CheckBox instead of list bullets

I generate a word document using .insertHtml() method.

After inserting all elements I need to go through each list, remove bullets and insert checkboxs in front of the text. It must look like bullets, but it must be checkboxes.

I do like this…

foreach (List list in doc.Lists)
{
    foreach (ListLevel level in list.ListLevels)
    {
        level.NumberFormat = ""; //Cleans bullets, maybe there is better solution?
        //… here I need to insert checkbox, but I do not know how…
    }
}

Questions:
How to insert CheckBox instead of list bullets?
Method level.NumberStyle = NumberStyle.None;does not remove bullets. Is it right?

Hello
Thank you for additional information. In this case you can try suing the code like the following:

Document doc = new Document("C:\\Temp\\in.doc");
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
// Get collection of Paragraph nodes.
NodeCollection paragraphs = doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, true);
// Loop throught all Paragraphs.
foreach(Paragraph par in paragraphs)
{
    if (par.IsListItem && (par.HasChildNodes || !par.IsEndOfSection))
    {
        // Get label of list item
        string label = par.ListLabel.LabelString + "\t";
        // Create run that will represent label in the document
        Run labelRun = new Run(doc, label);
        // We should import paragraph indents
        double leftIndent = par.ListFormat.ListLevel.NumberPosition;
        // Remove list label
        par.ListFormat.RemoveNumbers();
        // Insert label at the begining of paragraph
        par.ChildNodes.Insert(0, labelRun);
        builder.MoveTo(labelRun);
        // Insert CheckBox at the begining of paragraph
        builder.InsertCheckBox("chkYes", false, 11);
        par.ParagraphFormat.LeftIndent = leftIndent;
    }
}
doc.Save("C:\\Temp\\out.doc");

Best regards,
