In previous versions of Microsoft Word I was able to create checkboxes using the instructions below. I'm trying to create a checkboxe in a word 2002 document using the following instructions but,it doesn't seem to be working. Any thoughts?
1. On the Mail Merge toolbar, click the drop-down
Insert Word Field button. Choose "If…Then…Else"
3. Under If, in the Field Name list, click to select
the field name that is the check box column in
Access (i.e. GW.)
4. In the Comparison list, click to select "Equal To."
5. In the Compare To box, type 0 (zero).
6. In the Insert This Text box, hold down the ALT key
and on the numeric keypad, type 0168 (make sure
numlock is on.)
7. The ¨ image appears. Select it and press CTRL + D
8. The font dialog box appears. Choose Wingdings and
then click OK. You should now see an empty check
box.
9. Under Otherwise Insert this Text, press ALT and
type 0254.
10. The þ image appears. Select it and press CTRL + D
11. The font dialog box appears. Choose Wingdings and
then click OK. You should now see a checked check
box. Click OK. Save your document.
