merging symbols

[Klaus Iden]

I have a document in which I want to insert a checkmarked
box (symbol) if condition "a" exists and an empty
checkmark box if condition "b" exists.

My question is this, is it possible to insert symbols in
the if, then statement, or should I try to use a control
box and use vba code??

Or, any other ideas?

You can insert symbols as fonts within the statement result (though you will
have to build the field manually using CTRL+F9 for the field boundaries) eg.

{IF {Mergefield Test} = "a" "put check symbol here" "{IF {Mergefield Test} =
"b" "put no check symbol here" "put what you want for neither condition
here"}"}

Alternatively you could save the check and no check symbols as autotexts and
instead of inserting the symbols insert autotexts fields to call them.
