How do I alter the default fields in a mail merge list?

[PiscesGem]

I frequently use mail merge to produce certificates of completion for online
courses and every single time I do one I have to alter the default fields to
the ones I always use. Isn't there a way to alter the defaults to match what
I always change them to, rather than go through this process every time???

Default fields?
If you have your data file connected to your merge file, you can use the
toolbar to pick your fields and insert them.

What steps do you use when you start creating a new certificate? Are you
always working with the same data source (or with data sources that always
have the same fields and field names)?
