How can I use IF, THEN, ELSE logic in Word's mail merge?

[PheePhi]

I would like to use logic to determine what to include in a letter or label.
I need to say IF field1 is 12345, THEN include this paragraph; ELSE include
this paragraph. I can find references to this capability, but no details. I
am using Word 2002 under Windows XP Home Edition.

Enter the field information manually using CTRL+F9 to set the field boundary
pairs {}

{IF {Mergefield field1} = "12345" "type this" "otherwise type this"}
