Catalog merge from access to publisher

L

lonesax

I am trying to create a catalog merge from access to publisher. I have
multiple catagories in access that use the yes/no check box. I would like
those check boxes to appear in my merge document so that they will print out
instead of coming up "True" or "False". I've already gone into my access
database and made sure that the display option was set for check boxes. I
think that I have to do something in publisher, but I'm not sure what.

Thanks in advance for help!

Publisher doesn't preserve data formatting on merging.

The easiest way would be to add another field that contains þ if the
value is TRUE, and ¨ if the value is FALSE, and merge against that,
setting the font to Wingdings.
