I\'ve been trying to work through the examples FieldMailMerge and VariableReplace but can\'t seem to get a local test case running. I\'m basically trying to start with one docx

    I had the same issue and of course I could not force user to do some extra stuff when composing their word document so I decided to just write an algo to scan the whole document for expressions appending run after run, inserting replacement value and remove expressions in the second run. In case other people may need it below is what I did. I got the class from somewhere so it may be familiar. I just added the method searchAndReplace()

            String file = "Hello.docx";
    
            Docx4j docx4j = new Docx4j();
            WordprocessingMLPackage template = docx4j.getTemplate(filePath+file);
    
    //      MainDocumentPart documentPart = template.getMainDocumentPart();
    
            List<Object> texts = getAllElementFromObject(
                    template.getMainDocumentPart(), Text.class);
            searchAndReplace(texts, new HashMap<String, String>(){

    The issue is that I was trying to create the placeholders as just plain text within the docx file. What I should've been doing instead is using the MergeField functionality within Word which I didn't fully understand and appreciate, hence the confusion. Basically I didn't know that this is what was being meant within the documentation because I'd never used it, I just assumed it was still some kind of xml text replacement.

    That being said it's still fairly difficult to find a good explanation of this Word feature. After looking at a few dozen explanations I still couldn't find a nice clean explanation of this Word feature. The best explanation I was able find can be found here. Basically you want to do Step 3.

    That being said, once I created MergeFields in Word and ran the code, it worked perfectly. The method to use is docx4jReplaceTwoPeopleTest. The problem wasn't in the code but in my understanding of how it worked within Word.
