is there a substring function in word merge

[Guest]

I have a merge field that is a 16 digit credit card number. I need to
display only the last 4 characters. How do i do that?

If you don't get an answer here, try posting in

Hi =?Utf-8?B?RGFu?=,

You need to pre-process the data in the data source so that you pass only
the data you want to use to mail merge.
