If the result of the field really is "True" then
{IF {MERGEFIELD "Consultant_Desmond_High"} = "True" "moo" "cow"}
(or if you want a tick for true and nothing for false {IF {MERGEFIELD
"Consultant_Desmond_High"} = "True" "Put a tick character from the Wingdings
2 character set here"})
will work (use CTRL +F9 for both sets of field boundaries.
Update the field to show the changed information before merging.
Note that long fieldnames (greater than 10 digits) can cause problems if
some of your field names are similar.

Hi all, appologies for the very unhelpful title, but need help.
I am doing this mailmerge from a access2003 database to word2003
document.
Some of the fields i want to merge with are check boxes on the
database so when i merge them into the word document they appear as
"true" "false" options. Is there away of viewing the results in the
word document as tick boxs or even just ticks when the answer is
true and blank when the answer is
false???
Thanks
Dan
