How to parse one variable to Microsoft Word

OK, I thought that "one field" with "one replacement" would be too simple :)

There are quite a few parameters you can use with the Find method in VBS
automation of Word.

It's a bit tidier to wrap the settings in a "With" structure, and I've
defined a few constants to make it clearer. Note that you could just call
objSelect.Find.Execute with all the parameters defined after the statement,
but it's easier to view it as below. Make sure you keep 10 commas before the
wdReplaceAll parameter.

Dim objWord, objDoc, objSelect, result

on Error Resume Next

Const wdStory = 6
Const wdFindContinue = 1
Const wdReplaceAll = 2

result = "OK"

Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application") 
If Err <> 0 Then 
  result = "Error opening Word application"
End If

If result = "OK" Then
  objWord.Visible = False
  With objWord
    Set objDoc = objWord.Documents.Open("<<path to doc>>")
	If Err <> 0 Then
	  result = "Error opening template document"
	End If
  End With
End If

If result = "OK" Then
  Set objSelect = objWord.Selection
  objSelect.HomeKey(wdStory)
  With objSelect.Find
    .Text = "{{replace me}}"
	.Forward = True
	.MatchWholeWord = True
	.Wrap = wdFindContinue
	.Format = False
	.Replacement.Text = "<<replacement text>>"
	.Execute ,,,,,,,,,,wdReplaceAll
  End With
  objSelect.HomeKey(wdStory)
End If

If result = "OK" Then
  objWord.Visible = True
  Set objSelect= Nothing
  set objDoc = Nothing
  Set objWord = Nothing
Else
  set objDoc = Nothing
  objWord.Close
  objWord.Quit
End If
