Don,
If instead of such placeholders you use document variables or bookmarks then you don't need to do find/replace at all.
Set document variable's value, or insert into bookmark directly. It'd also be faster than a find/replace.
PS: If you'd use find/replace then you should use special characters for things like line feed (ie: ^p).
