# Word Document Manipulation with python-docx
## Critical: Split Placeholder Problem
**The #1 issue with Word templates**: Word often splits placeholder text across multiple XML runs. For example, `{{CANDIDATE_NAME}}` might be stored as:
- Run 1: `{{CANDI`
- Run 2: `DATE_NAME}}`
This happens due to spell-check, formatting changes, or Word's internal XML structure.
### Naive Approach (FAILS on split placeholders)
```python
# DON'T DO THIS - won't find split placeholders
