Excel has a conditional formatting feature that will reformat a cell

Is it possible to reformat a Word table cell when a condition is met,
similar to Excel's feature? I have a mail merge field placed in a table
cell, for which if it equals NO, the cell becomes shaded, otherwise it
is normal.

There isn't any _simple_ way like Excel's conditional formatting. There is a
way, using VBA programming. Look at this thread:
