Default Merge Checkbox conditional

Use an

{ IF { MERGEFIELD fieldname } = somevalue trueresult falseresult }

and in place of trueresult and falseresult in the above construction insert
the desired wingdings symbol, 254 for checked and 168 for unchecked.

You must use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters in the above
and Alt+F9 to toggle of the display of the field codes. You may need to
update the fields (F9) in the resulting document to see the desired result.

Hope this helps.
