Default Merge from Access checkbox

Use an If...then...Else field in the Word mailmerge main document that
checks for the value supplied by Access and inserts the appropriate symbol
depending upon the value

{ IF { MERGEFIELD fieldname } = 1 [insert symbol of checked box Wingdings
254 here] [insert symbol of unchecked box Wingdings 168 here] }

Note you must use Ctrl+F9 to insert the field delimiters { } and replace the
square brackets in the above and the text inside them with the symbols
mentioned.

Hope this helps.
