Default Find - Replace, using with mailmerge

Insert the mm field "first name", and copy it to the clipboard. The
clipboard's contents can now be referenced in the Replace with: field using
^c. Hence,

Find what:Tom
Replace with:^c

will replace Tom with the merge field that's stored in the clipboard.

...
is impossible to use find/replace to enter merge fields? for example, I
want
to replace all instances of the word "Tom" with the field "first name"

Thanks
