Format of Yes/No mergefields from Access merged to Word
I have Yes/No values in my access database but when merging them to a word
document they don't come out with "Yes or No" wording they come out with "True or False" wording, how can I reformat the mergefield to say "Yes or No" from the database. |

Format of Yes/No mergefields from Access merged to Word
Hi sutton,
The True/False output in the mailmerge is because that's what's actually stored in your db. You can use an IF field in Word to do a conversion. To do this, assuming your problem mergefield is '«YesNo»' and 'True' = 'Yes': .. select your problem mergefield and press Ctrl-F9 to enclose it in a new field, thus {«YesNo»}; .. fill in around the new field braces thus, paying careful attention to the spacing {IF«YesNo»= "True" "Yes" "No"}; .. position the cursor anywhere in this field and press F9 to update it; .. run your mailmerge. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "sutton" wrote in message ...
