WordProcessingContent content = watermarker.GetContent<WordProcessingContent>();
foreach (WordProcessingShape shape in content.Sections[0].Shapes)
{
    if (shape.Text.Contains("Some text"))
    {
        shape.FormattedTextFragments.Clear();
        shape.FormattedTextFragments.Add("Another text", new Font("Calibri", 19, FontStyle.Bold), Color.Red, Color.Aqua);
    }
}

Step 3: Save the Document

After replacing the text, save the modified document:
