Why would your boss insist on something so illogical, that makes more work than it saves? Insert the individual fields and save it as an autocorrect (or autotext) entry and show him (or her) how quickly it can be repeated next time, when the correct tools for the job are used.

Much of my work for private clients relates to mail merge, and I can say quite categorically that I would never ever use the address block field. It is too much hassle, unless you work with US format addresses.
