    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.
