Dhaval, I should have been clear. This is the steps you need to follow.
Rename your .docx file to .zip.
Unzip your file
You will get a folder and within /word dir, you will see document.xml
This is the XML representation of your document.
You will need to replace the tag in this document (you need to use Text document from Template for this) and then zip the content using the ZIP plugin available and rename the resulting doc to DOCX again.
I would strongly recommend against this because the amount of IT maintenance overhead is quite a bit. For each change, you will have to manage the change in the template so it's not going to be easy.
