I will apologise in advance as this should probably be in the word forum, however as I am performing the mail merge from access, I thought I would post it in the access forum.

I am performing a mail merge from access (which works fine), however I have a tick box in my word doc, which I want displayed as either a tick or a cross, depending upon a boolean value in my datasource. I have found a way to get this working in access reports (two invisible graphics on top of each other, then make one of them visible), however the client has decided that they want this implemented in mail merge (???).

Is there a way of doing this in mail merge?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Dan
 
I would send the letter "x" to the mail merge. Then set the font of the merged field to Wingdings.
IIf([YourYesNo]=True,"x","")
