I have a doc that I am using addTemplateVariable to substitute for the variables in a word doc. It works fine on the first occurrence, but not on any subsequent. Is there a better method, or any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

Or do I have to modify the addTemplateVariable to do this?

Example doc: (substituting for $filenumber")

File # $filenumber$
...
lots of stuff
...
File $filenumber$

Hello,

We've checked your issue and everything is working fine; a placeholder is replaced all times in DOCX file. Please send us your DOCX file and php script to test both of them.

Regards.

I will verify that it works, but I went back and it appears my word doc had an issue with 2nd->N occurrences of the variable.

Thank you for your prompt response.
