Apache POI Word .DOC Replacing Text

I would like to open a .doc file search for some text and replace it with other text.

I know of the RANGE.replaceText(placeholder, newString) method but it is unreliable when you have mergfields, or other special formatting in the document and can mess the entire document up.

I am wondering if there is an alternative method, to manually search through the document paragraphs and grab the string and use the replaceText method of each string?

This presents the alternatives. It is in the context of docx4j, but the options also apply in principle to POI.
