That&amp;#39;s sorted two docx&amp;#39;es by replacing &amp;quot;&amp;amp;&amp;quot; with &amp;quot;&amp;amp;amp;&amp;quot; in the merge fields. There&amp;#39;s another one though that doesn&amp;#39;t seem to have those in the merge fields. They are there in the docx but underlying .xml seems to be correctly representing them as &amp;quot;&amp;amp;amp;&amp;quot; :-)&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Hi,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're using docx2pdf.
