No, there is no way to do that, hence the work-arounds that have been
suggested.

I am sorry for the multiple posts. I may not be able to do what I want
based
on the answers I received.

As a work around, is there a way to treat the contents of a mail merge
field
as one word? For example a mail merge field myPhone contains (555)
555-1212.
If that field is at the end of a line it will be split with (555) being at
the end of one line and 555-1212 being at the beginning of the next. Is
there
a way to treat the contents of myPhone as one word even though there is a
space in the field so if the mail merge field is at the end of a line the
whole phone number will be displayed on the next line without it being
split.

Thanks,

Mark
