mail merge tick box field from access

[robert]

i'm trying to do a mail merge using data from an access
database that includes tickbox fields. when i merge
these, i get the values 'true' or 'false'. but, is there
any way to do the merge so that tick boxes are displayed
in the word document?

thanks!

Robert

Use an If ... Then ... Else field construction, inserting the appropriate
wingdings symbol for the true and false results.

You have answered EXACTLY the question I was going to ask myself, but
unfortunately I am not sure how to formulate the "if, then, else"
statement. Are you able to be a little bit more specific? I am
"fighting" Office 2003 at the moment and find the "mail merge" far
less userfriendly than in previous versions. (

Thanking you, in anticipation.
