Default insert checkbox on if condition in mailmerge

Insert the Wingdings symbols directly into the If...then...Else... field
construction. Don't bother with the autocorrect function.

Doug - I followed the online help for inserting checkboxes by assigning a
word via the "autocorrect" function to the checkbox symbol from inserting
symbols window. I would then do the "if...then" and the result of the
"if...then" would be the word I had assigned the wingding symbol too for
the
"autocorrect" action from the insert symbol window. But instead of
inserting
the wingding symbol it would insert the word that I had assigned to the
symbol for the "autocorrect". Am I still not clear?

I am not sure what you mean by the "text inserted for the winding symbol"

Thanks Doug for the reply. I have tried using the "if..then" and
inserting
the wingdings symbols but what I keep getting is the text inserted for
the
wingding symbol rather than the symbol. Can you tell me what I am
doing
wrong? Thanks
Wayne

Is it possible to insert a checked checkbox when I mailmerge a
document
when
an if condition is true. I have a number of fields that will either
have
a Y
or N and would like to insert a checked checkbox when the condition
is
Y?
Any ideas.
