Default A 'teachable' way to apply percentage formatting

I found I could use the following to apply percentages formatted in Excel or
Access in a Word mailmerge:

{ = MERGEFIELD "Fieldname" } * 100 \# "00%" },

where the braces are the 'magic' inserted by Ctrl-F9, and "Fieldname" is the
field.
(From looking at other posts here, it seems I could omit one of the zeroes
in the format string above.)

Now: how can I encapsulate or package this incantation somehow, so that
others have a chance of applying it into their mail merges?
I can't get Autotext to work for me.
