Default How do I mail merge data that contains double quotes (ie, 5'9")?

I am doing mail merge where the data is delimited by pipes (|). All works
fine, except occasionally the data contains double quotes (ie, 5'9") and Word
thinks that the double quote is a delimiter rather than just part of the
data. I need to keep the double quotes, but can't find a way to get Word to
ignore them. Any help?

FYI - I have tried placing double quotes and single quotes around the data,
but neither work.
