    Is there a way using some of the search and replace word content features are another method to replace text that is in a template file.  Right now the replaceVariableWith... methods require symbols.  This text I am trying to replace would not be a PLACEHOLDER and not be surrounded by symbols, etc.

    Hello,

    You can use searchAndReplace available in Advanced and Premium licenses to search and replace texts not wrapped by placeholder symbols used by template methods.

    Regards.

    Yes I am aware of that method for DocxUtilities.  That would require me to build the file using template, then run this.  I was hoping to do this all using createdocxfromtemplate.

    Hello,

    Methods included in CreateDocxFromTemplate require using template placeholder symbols ($VAR$, ${VAR}...). searchAndReplace is available in DocxUtilities.

    Regards.
