Hello!

I need to use find and replace via headless, but I have not found a way to do that.
Currently I uncompressed a .docx file and try to locate and replace it directly in the xml file, but often there are tags being opened and closed in the middle of my search string.

I have a template .docx file, and I need to replace certain strings with others, for example a lease, where I need to put name, address and other information via programming.

How i can do it?

You could use User defined fields; see this article for some helpful information

I am not certain that "headless" is the way to go - there might be too many substitute fields for convenient and reliable handling.

Thanks RoryOF

Any bookmark / variable that I could find directly in the file word / document.xml would already work perfectly.

I'm looking to use mono + openxml SDK on CentOS
