I think that the only way that you could do this would be to use a Wildcard
replace after executing the merge with
([0-9]{3})([0-9]{8})
in the Find what control and
W\2
in the replace with control.

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?
