title: XML Parser to read xml tags from word file C#
body: <p>I have some word templates(dot/dotx) files that contain xml tags along with plain text.<br>
  At run time, I need to replace the xml tags with their respective mail merge fields.</p>
  
  <p>So, need to parse the document for these xml tags and replace them with merge fields.
  I was using Regex to find and replace these xml tags. But I was suggested to use XML parser to parse for XML tags (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1902095/regex-for-string-enclosed-in-c">Regex for string enclosed in &lt;*&gt;, C#</a>)</p>
  
  <p>Now that I have presented my case better,<br>
  could you please guide if XML parser will be a right tool to achive above?<br>
  if yes, do I need to save the word document as xml file and then need to parse for xml tags? </p>
  
  <p>Please guide.</p>
