Nope. TAB + Enter is the best you can do. However, if you're confirming the
same set of information for every record(?) there is a switch you can set so
the Word prompts you only one time, for the entire merge. Alt+F9 toggle the
display of the field codes, type in at the end of the field: \o

No, there's not. Merge to a new document, not directly to the printer, and you
can edit it or throw it away and start again.

Tab + Enter -- PERFECT!! Thanks so much, Cindy. You're a true Word heroine!
And I appreciate your other advice as well.
