Default Character Limit

Is it possible to use conditional formatting to only output the first 11 characters of a merge field's content?

Yes, but it's not practical - you would need to build a series of IF tests for every one of those characters, to work out what that character is, then output it. That's potentially 224 IF tests per character...
