The "If then Else" is too basic. Should include more options, like
'or' to automate.
For example, in a familiar salutation: If a person is a Mr. or Ms.,
we want to use first name. If a person is a Judge, though, we want
to use Judge.

So the first if statement should contain an 'or' instead of doing a
list of If statements. In earlier versions of MSWord (before the
love affair with drop-down boxes) i could type in chevrons and get
the job done myself. Now it is a mess.
