Question Replacing Text in Many Files at Once

Is there a way to replace words or text in many different documents at one time? If so, how is this done? I need to replace the Field/Term Job Order Number with Work Order Number in 100 seperate forms/documents.

Thank you for your assistance.

A possible exception is if you are working with a mail merge.

Hello Dawn,

Well I have some macros that would do it for Excel workbooks, but nothing for Word. However I did a google search and found this:
