Would this work:

   1. Use '<<' and '>>' instead of the merge quotes, wherever you do not
      actually want a merge variable reference.
   2. Mail merge, but to a new file, not your printer.
   3. In the new file, Change All the opening quote for '<<' and closing quote
      for '>>'.
   4. Print the new file.

Strangely, I had originally intended to use option-P instead of option-\ and
shift-option-P instead of shift-option-\, but Word refuses to find the
character option-p. It will find option-8 (the bullet), but not shift-option-P.
