Use an If...then...Else field in the Word mailmerge main document that
checks for the value supplied by Access and inserts the appropriate symbol
depending upon the value

{ IF { MERGEFIELD fieldname } = 1 [insert symbol of checked box Wingdings
254 here] [insert symbol of unchecked box Wingdings 168 here] }

Note you must use Ctrl+F9 to insert the field delimiters { } and replace the
square brackets in the above and the text inside them with the symbols
mentioned.

Hope this helps.
