Default Merge field name with a "/" in it.

I have a merge field that is named "c/o" in the data source file, but when I try to add this merge field to a document in Word, the drop-down list of available merge fields lists it as "co", so that when I do the merge, it can't find a corresponding field.

So, is there any way to include a "/" in the field name? I tried escaping it - i.e. using "c//o" in the data source file, but that didn't work.
