Can Word 2007 do batch find/replace?
I have many Word 2007 files in which I wish to make the same find/replace.
Is there any easy way to do this? I am on WinXP, but soon should have Vista, might it be easier to wait? |

Word 2007 does batch find and replace exactly the same way as all versions from 97 through 2003: by programming a macro to do it. The necessary macro is at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/BatchFR.htm. The only change you would have to make to work with the new file format in Word 2007 is to change "*.doc" to "*.docx". If you also have macro-enabled documents, you would have to run the macro again for "*.docm". Whether you're on Windows XP or Vista will make absolutely no difference. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

And before somebody comes along to correct me, you could set up the macro to handle both docx and docm files by changing the "*.doc" to "*.doc?" where the question-mark wildcard character will match any letter. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
