Default Keyboard shortcuts for Word fields in merged document?

I periodically generate a merge letter in Word 2003 that contains case
reporting information. The merge fields are simply the names and addresses
of the organizations I'm reporting to; no problem there. I merge the letter
to the printer via the Mail Merge toolbar.

I've inserted seven Word Fill-in fields into the merge letter, again via the
Mail Merge toolbar. After I click the merge to printer button, tell Word to
merge all records, and hit Enter in the Print dialog box, Word prompts me to
enter the text for each field, one after the other. (This is where I enter
the details of the case I'm reporting.) After I enter the text for the last
field, the merged letters and envelopes print.

Question #1: The dialog box for entering text in each Fill-in field has OK
and Cancel buttons. Is there a keyboard shortcut for the OK button? Hitting
the Enter key inserts a carriage return in the text box, as opposed to
closing the text box and moving on to the next Fill-in field. Having to
click OK with the mouse seven times in a row is a drag.

Question #2: Every once in a while I'll realize that I entered incorrect
information in a Fill-in field after I've clicked the OK button. Word has
already moved on to the next field. Is there any way to go back to a field I
already entered to make a correction? Many thanks.
