Title: Tokens in Word Document are Not Merged
ThreadText: # Tokens in Word Document are Not Merged
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2024-11-27)
  
  I am trying to create a printable form which will have contact details already printed on it.
  
  If I create the form in Civi, I cannot insert logos or shapes, but all the tokens merge correctly.
  
  If I create the form in Word, only the Contact ID will merge and the other tokens remain unchanged.
  
  There seem to have been a lot of questions on these lines over the years, but no answers. Have there been any bug fixes or progress since then?
