Default Can you remove words from a mergefield using field codes?

We have a wrod document which we merge a field from our database too. The
database outputs "First name Middle name Surname" we would like our letters
to say "Dear Paul" rather than "Dear Paul Jon Humphries". I've been looking
for a merge field code which could be used to purely pull through the first
word, but have been unsucessful. Can anyone help/advise?
