You only replace the predefined variables. In the following code

https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPWord I also did this problem in phpword using the following code

 if(!file_exists('file/word.docx')){
  $templateProcessor = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\TemplateProcessor('demo.docx');
  $templateProcessor->setValue('name', 'Akbarali');
  $templateProcessor->setValue('time','13.02.2021');
  $templateProcessor->setValue('month', 'January');
  $templateProcessor->setValue('state','Uzbekistan');
  $templateProcessor->saveAs('file/word.docx');
}

This will change the words in the demo.docx file. The new file is then saved in the word.docx file folder. you can define variables in the form of $ {name} in the demo word file. that is, ${name}, ${time}, ${month} and ${state}

I'm the developer of PHPWord. You can use the PHPWord_Template Class to open an existing DOCX File and then replace some text marks with your individual text.

Alternatively you can open the DOCX file with the ZipArchive extension and then read/write every xml File (document.xml, header.xml, footer.xml, ...) you want. This method is nothing else than the PHPWord_Template class. ;)
