Hi curatorfm,

To use an IF field this way, you can code the field like:
{IF{MERGEFIELD CheckState}= "X" {MERGEFIELD ExtraText}}
or:
{IF«CheckState»= "X" «ExtraText»}
where 'CheckState' is the name of the mergefield used to determine the check status, 'X' is the field value that toggles it 'checked' and 'ExtraText' is the name of the field containing the additional text.

Note: The field brace pairs (ie '{ }') for the above example are created via Ctrl-F9 - you can't simply type them or copy & paste them from this message. Likewise, you can't type or copy & paste the chevrons (ie '« »') - they're part of the actual mergefields, which you can insert from the mailmerge toolbar.
