Default Checkboxes in Merged Document


I am using data from an Excel database into a mailmerge document. My
merge document has three checkboxes. Whether they remain in their
default unchecked position depends on the value of the corresponding
field in the database.

How do I get the checkboxes to check when a particular value is present
in the data field?

Default Checkboxes in Merged Document

Use an If...then...Else field construction that inserts the appropriate
Wingdings symbol depending on the value of the field.
