Default Mail Merge Field - Font Switch?

Select the first non-space letter of your field, e.g. the "M" of Mergefield,
and apply the font you want., and add a \*charformat switch to the field.
Select the field and update it.

(Personally I would prefer a \*font "fontname" switch or some such, but it
doesn't exist)

I know ahead of time when I put a merge field into a document that it will
be a wingdings font, but if I make the field wingdings, the template looks
pretty stupid because the whole field is in wingdings. Is there some kind
of switch I can put on a merge field, or some way to designate that it
should be the wingdings font without having to highlight the WHOLE field
and make it wingdings?
