Default Merge format switch issue?

Hello,

We are doing a mail merge. Data source is excel file with cell contents "X"
(quotes are not applicable). We are merging the X into a word document but
the value comes through as 0. What formatting switch can we apply to always
indicate an alpha for merge field. The results will be either X in the check
box or nothing, and this is always the case. So if merge encounters some
screwy excel format and doesn't know how to apply the value we only want a X
or nothing at all no 0 ever.

Thanks.
