Can default format for recipient's name be changed?

[Lynn]

Is there any way to reset the default recipient name format to the one that
is most frequently used? When creating a mail merge and inserting an address
block, a default value for the recipient's name, consisting of the prefix,
first name, last name, and suffix is highlighted (e.g., Mr. Joshua Randall
Jr.). Selecting a different format is a simple process. However, if a
different name format is selected, and then further changes are made to the
mail merge (for example, match fields are inserted), the newly-selected name
formatting is not retained, and the format is reset to the default
formatting.

Instead of using the AddressBlock, just insert the individual mergefields in
the configuration that you want them. Save it as an autotext if you want to
reuse it.
