You could use the categories field or one of the four user fields, then
provided you start the merge from Outlook
http://www.gmayor.com/mailmerge_from_outlook.htm you could use a conditional
field
{IF {Mergefield User_Field_1} = "Family" "The {LastName} Family" "{First
Name} {LastName}"
or
{IF {Mergefield Categories} = "Family" "The {LastName} Family" "{First Name}
{LastName}"

Hi
I know how to do a mail merge between contacts in Outlook 2003 and
Word 2003. But I need to do some programming/substitution for our
holiday card labels.
If an Outlook field (that I need to choose) contains the word
'Family', then I want to print "The [Lastname] Family" for this
contact, instead of printing "[Firstname Lastname]". Can I do this
kind of conditional logic, from a list of contacts, in Word Mail
Merge? If so, where should I look for samples/ideas?
Thanks!
