Hi,

I use Perl for this. The process is :

-unzip the .docx document, and look for /word/document.xml in the resulting directory
-substitute field names with their values in this file (I don't use MS Word 'fields', though, just placeholders that are unlikely to be found in documents, such as client_name, client_address, facturation_date, etc) 
-zip the archive anew with a .docx extension

Voilà.

The code is about 40 lines long, I can post it if you care; the same process also works with Libre/OpenOffice documents
