use string replace

string correctString = errString.Replace("docment", "document");

<td>#Name#</td>
<td>#Department#</td>
<td>#Designation#</td>

Will you have repetition of the above block or will you have only one block of this kind ?

I use StringTemplate[^] for this purpose. It's available for .Net and Java, mature and quite flexible.

Bad idea. Instead, you can use in place of the parameters "{0}", "{1}" and "{2}" and use string.Format method to substitute actual parameter values.
