I got a Word Document template with some keys phrases to be replaced by the
content (for example, document numbers, etc.) of specific cells located on a
Excel workbook. I want that my code search in the Word document for specifics
phrases and replace that with the text that my specific cells had. How can I
do that? Ideas will be appreciated.

Dim zObj As Object, sFind$, sReplace$
sFind = Cells(1, 1)
