how do i search and replace in multiple word documents
I have a requirement, that is to highlight a ref. code (that stands for our
college) that ocurs a dozen times in a 120 page document. This code also appears in 20 or so documents. It is possible to highlight in phrase easily using seach and replace in a single doc, but is it possible to apply the same search to multiple documents? and if so how. Thanks |

how do i search and replace in multiple word documents
Hi,
I managed to get this working, but it does not update occurrences in the header/footer or document properties - is that possible? thanks Dan "Jonathan West" wrote: "Graemis" wrote in message ...

The macro at http://www.gmayor.com/batch_replace.htm will replace the text
anywhere in the documents, but does not address document properties. Tell us more about what you want to change in the document properties. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "DanO" wrote in message ...
