Default concatenate and parse merged field with text

I need to concatenate the ID from our system into an ID our users use for web
access. The ID in our system is an 11 digit number. The web access ID is the
last 7 digits of that number with a "W" in front.

The extract we get to merge the ID info only contains the system ID. To
derive the web access ID, we need to concatenate a "W" with the last 7 digits
of the system ID. I thought this would be easy to do using Word logic, but
several of us have tried with no luck. We don't want to go to Excel first, as
that adds an extra step our business process.

Any ideas?
