Mail Merge CheckBoxes?
Hi,
Is it possible to set a checkbox on a word doc via mail merge? I'd like to have a checkbox on my Word document and have it be either checked or unchecked depending on a field in my mail merge data source (which is just a comma delimited text file). I am using MS Word 2003. Thanks! |

Use an If...then...Else field that returns the appropriate symbol from the
InsertSymbol menu item, depending upon the value of the mergefield. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Hi Richard: Did you ever figure out how to get a mail merge code to turn
into a checkbox? I need this for a form I am creating. Thanks. "Richard" wrote: Hi, Is it possible to set a checkbox on a word doc via mail merge?

Doug: How do I contact you to find out about your services? I need to get
the syntax for turning the mergefield into a checkbox? Thanks.

Mail Merge CheckBoxes?
Michelle, I don't know where one finds a box with a checkmark in it, but how
about an IF field that prints [Wingdings 110] if true, and [Wingdings 111] if false. This is not a coding example. When typing the IF field, I would actually InsertSymbol Wingdings [choose the filled or unfilled box].

Finally discovered the "checked box" symbol.
Wingdings 254 is a box with a check in it. Could you print Wingdings 254 if true and Wingdings 111 if false?
