Use an If...then...Else field to insert the appropriate symbol from the

I recently upgraded from Office 97 to Office 2002. I have a large
Access
database which serves as a data source for several Word mail merge
programs
to generate reports. Some of the data fields use a form check box
(YES/NO)
control which are not merging correctly in If... Then... Else... merge
fields. It worked in the 97 version using "Yes" = -1 and "No" = 0
(...I
think). Since upgrading however, these merge fields no longer work.
In
version 2002, how do I configu If mergefield is equal to
(check
box
control field checked) "type this sentence" ""?

Thanks for any help,
rbuzzell
