Yes/No Fields in Mail Merge?
I'm merging data from Access. I have some Yes/No (checkbox) fields. When I
merge the field into Word, it shows as True/False. I need this to be displayed as a check box (form field), either checked or not. Any ideas on how to do this? |

Yes/No Fields in Mail Merge?
You can use a conditional field to insert a checked or unchecked box
character from (say) the Wingdings font thus {IF {Mergefield fieldname} = "True" "Put the checked box character here" "Put the unchecked box character here"} -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Iggies wrote: I'm merging data from Access.

Yes/No Fields in Mail Merge?
{ IF "{ MergeField YN }" = "True" "CheckedBox" "Unchecked Box" }
except you use checked and unchecked box symbols instead of the words. Formfields don't work with merges. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome!
