I've previously developed a system to do so using the traditional "docx from template" (not dynamic template) node, using regular replacement fields and carefully-wrought XML injection.  I've shared an example app for this here before, on probably a few occasions. 

I will offer the caveats that it might be less confusing overall to use one of the ones that are designed for this use case, like the two mentioned above.  And secondly, if your desired result is a PDF, then this probably won't work as well as other solutions.  But just in case, you can follow the link path above for my old upload.
