Word question please.
Hi,
I am asking this on behalf of my Mother-in-Law so excuse me if it doesn't make sense. I'll copy and paste below. Thanks in advance. Dene I currently have about 85 Word 2000 documents and each document is about 35 pages long. Whenever new legislation comes into force I have to open all 85 documents and make the changes manually, for example at the end of this month I will need to change 2004 to 2005 85 times. Although the documents are client specific, the wording in the paragraphs that would need changing is, in most cases, identical. Is it possible to write a macro to make this and any other changes to these documents? |

I now have a follow up if you can be of any help. I'll copy and paste: - - - - - - - Now the question ...... The macro works absolutely perfect when I replace all on a batch of documents in the same folder. However, most of these documents are password protected and I can't get the macro to open these passworded protected documents and then replace all. What am I doing wrong? Please ask this question for me. - - - - - - - Cheers Dene |
