Default Find - Replace, using with mailmerge

It's been a lifesaver on more than one occasion. :-)

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.
