It would be useful to have the ability to access & modify document properties.

This would allow creating a template docx file, with fields set up to display custom document properties. Using DuckX, the property values could be populated with output data from C++ software. When loaded into MS Word, the final docx file would display the completed report, and user would still have the ability to edit.

To work around the lack of document property support at the moment, I am experimenting with searching all paragraphs for a particular string (e.g. [REPORTBODY]) and replacing with the corresponding value.

Thanks @amiremohamadi. I may contribute in the future if I'm able!

Just wanted to log these feature requests here, because I'm sure I'm not the only one who would find them useful. Also, thanks for creating DuckX!
