Text Tag Shortening and Conga Composer Conflict

I am using Conga Composer to populate Word Templates with SalesForce Fields.  To do this, I am using the {{FieldName}} function.  However, this is the same as Adobe Tags.  The standard Tags work just fine with Composer, but when I use Text Tag Shortening, the Shortened Tag disappears.  All of my affected Tags are in tables.  I can think of only 2 solutions but I can't figure out how to get them to work.

1)  Change the Tag adobe uses to a MergeField or something that won't be impacted by the Conga Composer piece.

2)  adjust the tables to get rid of Wrapping.   This doesn't seem possible though.

Any possible solutions? I appreciate the help!
