how do i format conditional text in a word mail merge

In a mail merge, I need to insert a paragraph which contains formatted text
(some words are in bold), dependant on the value of a field in the data
(excel) file. I have used the "insert word field" button -"if...then..else"
option, which works OK except the text box appears to only except one foramt
for all characters.

Save the formatted text as an autotext entry and insert an autotext field eg

{IF{Mergefield fieldname} = "condition" "{Autotext "autotextname"}"}
