Default How to do String Manipulations on a Merge Field?

Is it possible to find the last or first character(s) in a mail merge field?
For example, I want to check a merge field that contains 4 characters and I
just want to do an if-then-else statement on the final character. For
example, if Right(mergefield) = 1, then do something, else do something
different. I can't seem to find any information on string manipulations in
Word. I am using Word 2003.

Thanks for your help.
