Finding and setting Mergefields in docx

[kerner1000]

I have Word templates that contain multiple MERGEFIELDs. I would like to find them and set a value in order to generate a document from the template. How can I do this?

See https://github.com/plutext/docx4j/blob/ ... Merge.java or for mailing labels with MERGEFIELD / NEXT, https://github.com/plutext/docx4j/blob/ ... eNext.java

Hi Jason,

Many thanks for your response. I saw those examples already. But they are setting new Mergefields. I would like to find existing fields and replace them with actual data, for example: Look for "MERGEFIELD FIRST_NAME" -> find and replace with " John".
I don't understand from those examples how to do this.
