Research direction

Start at Document.ReplaceText and follow the Paragraph.ReplaceTextCore and Container.ReplaceTextCore paths named in the stack trace. Reproduce the example against versions 2.5.0 and 2.4.1, then add a regression test showing that replacing %LoanNum% in a header or footer removes the search value while preserving the body behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Its adding the text but not removing the search value in the header/footer if I step over the error. Its fine in the body. Rolling back to 2.4.1 or 2.4.0 works fine.

        doc.ReplaceText(new StringReplaceTextOptions() { SearchValue = "%LoanNum%", NewValue = loan.LoanNum ?? "" });

header shows this if I step to next line in code:
Loan# %LoanNum%123456
