Default Want to print a separator page if a field equals a value

Hello. I've used Word 2000 many times to print mail merge letter projects.
The data source for all of these has been presorted mailing data created by
PostalSoft. I typically export the presorted data and save it in an Excel xls
format. In addition to normal name, address, city, state etc fields, the data
also includes breakmarks (usually "#" or "##"). The breakmark fields are only
populated if the record is for a mailpiece that is the first piece in a new
package or container of mail. Typical quantity for these jobs is 5,000 to
50,000 letters. They are printed on an HP9000 LaserJet using a PostScript
driver.
I'd like to be able to print a different colored separator sheet (pink,
pulled from a different paper tray) if the breakmark field equals "#" or
"##". This would allow other employees downstream of me to quickly identify
the start of new packages and containers as they perform folding and
inserting operaions. Is this possible with some sort of IF statement? Might
it require some other statement specific to the printer/driver?
Any help or additional sources of information would be greatly appreciated.
