Default how smart can a word 2003 mail merge letter be?

I'm considering migrating some very complex templates from my own
proprietary application into word 2003. My templates pull fields from a sql
server view into a form letter via a stored procedure in sql server. there
are many if...then conditions, including nested if...thens throughout the
stored procedure code.

Before I begin to attempt this migration into a word 2003 mail merge
template, is there a good resource I can turn to to see just what word
2003's letter mail merge is capable of? I'm not looking for a tutorial
here, but rather a real world example of a complex mail merge letter with
formulas, formatting, and if...then logic. I'm just trying to gauge if word
is robust enough to handle my templates.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
