Actually, Word DOES have an OR function, documented in the help file - look
under 'functions'. However, Word's OR function only works for two numeric
conditions. For testing multiple conditions, especially where text is
involved, try something like:
{IF{={IF{MERGEFIELD Title}= "Mr" 1 0}+{IF{MERGEFIELD Title}= "Mrs" 1
0}+{IF{MERGEFIELD Title}= "Ms" 1 0}}=1 {MERGEFIELD Name} {MERGEFIELD Title}}

For an AND test with multiple conditions, you'd replace the '+' signs with
'*'.

MSWord 2003
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.
