Word Mail Merge

[Tom Dauria]

I am mail merging to Word. Some of my table columns are Yes/No data
types. I would like them to come out as check boxes in Word but they
merge as 0's and 1's

You'd have to create checkboxes in your Word form, I think, and then
use bookmarks to set the values... When you merge from Access to Word,
all it sends is *data*. (True=1, False=0). If you want it formatted,
you have to do that yourself or use checkboxes... AFAIK...

In Access True is -1 usually, although any non zero value will be
interpreted as true by a check box control (if the check box is bound to an
integer field, for instance). Don't know if the same is true in Word.
