.........and that will not work because there is no way to recover the runs
from the paragraphs or from the document for that matter. So, without
digging deeply into the structure of the docx file via the various beans or
patching the API so that you can perfrom search and replace operations, I
think you have two options.

Assuming that it was possible to perform these operations using an earlier
version of the API, then it may be best to revert to using that version for
now. Secondly, and far, far more risky, would be to use Java code to simply
unzip the docx file, to open document.xml, search for and replace the
specific items of text, resave the file and, finally, re-zip it. This does
pose a number of risks however and it is certainly not something I would
consider lightly but I do know that it is possible because I played around
with a docx file today in exactly that manner.
