Andy, I think we are close. Yes, I use FCKEditor for creating the document and inserting my placemarkers, similar to how you would set up the doc in Word for a mail merge. Now if users are going to create your documents, you would have to supply them a list of placemarkers that can be used, and upon saving the content of the editor, validate all placemarkers that are contained within the ^$^.....^$^
Also, if you are cutting and pasting from Word, I think you will get a lot of MS crap in there. I always save my word doc to plain text first, and then paste from there. Ends up being very clean and formatting is not a problem.
