Default IF THEN Statements for Mail Merge in Word 2007

I'm trying to do a mailing where I need to use an IF THEN ELSE statement.
I'm importing data from an Excel spreadsheet. Currently (please correct me
if I am wrong), it does not appear that I can do the following statement in
Word 2007. I have two fields 'Goes By' and 'First Name'. What I want to do
is create a statement that reads:

IF Goes By is blank THEN First Name

However, the Rules do not allow for me to choose more than the IF data field
in the pop-up that come up.

It would be nice to have this functionality in Word. As now I have to do a
work around (not a hard one, but still takes time and $$$ and separates data)
to get this information.
