Can i enter a field into a mail merge template based on its value, e.g. if
{{fieldA}} is blank then ' ' else {{fieldA}}? I looked at the if-then-else
insert-word-field dropdown and it only wants to let me put static text on
both the then and the else clause.

I have Office Professional Word 2003.

I would avoid the dropdown. Use ctrl-F9 to insert /each/ pair of special
field code braces { }, then you can do stuff like

{ IF "{ MERGEFIELD fieldA }" = "" "" "Some text followed by { MERGEFIELD
fieldA }" }
