Which placeholders can I use?
Template mode recognises {field}, {{field}}, [Field Name], and <<field>> styles. The mapping screen connects them to your spreadsheet headers.
Excel + Word template
Populate a Word template from Excel without copying each field by hand.
Add placeholders to the Word document you already use, upload the spreadsheet, and confirm which column fills each field. One Excel row becomes one editable Word document.
A simple column-to-placeholder example
The names do not have to match perfectly. doctagd suggests mappings, then asks you to confirm them before it fills the file.

Questions about filling Word templates
Does the Word design survive?
Yes. doctagd fills the template rather than rebuilding its layout, so headers, footers, tables, page orientation, and branding stay in Word.
Can one template create many files?
Yes. Each Excel row creates a separate named document, and a multi-row run downloads as a ZIP.
