For whatever reason, the macro recorder doesn't capture the font name for either the Find or the Replace. Hence a recorded macro will affect content other than just Times New Roman. Regardless, a macro this limited wouldn't make it any easier to "handle more than 100 files" as specified in post #1. For that, you'd need something like:

Code:

Sub UpdateDocuments()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim strFolder As String, strFile As String, strDocNm As String, wdDoc As Document
strDocNm = ActiveDocument.FullName
strFolder = GetFolder
If strFolder = "" Then Exit Sub
strFile = Dir(strFolder & "\*.doc", vbNormal)
While strFile <> ""
  If strFolder & "\" & strFile <> strDocNm Then
    Set wdDoc = Documents.Open(FileName:=strFolder & "\" & strFile, AddToRecentFiles:=False, Visible:=False)
    With wdDoc
      With .Range.Find
        .ClearFormatting
        .Text = ""
        .Font.Name = "Times New Roman"
        .Font.Size = 12
        With .Replacement
          .ClearFormatting
          .Text = ""
          .Font.Size = 8
        End With
        .Forward = True
        .Wrap = wdFindContinue
        .Format = True
        .MatchCase = False
        .MatchWholeWord = False
        .MatchWildcards = False
        .MatchSoundsLike = False
        .MatchAllWordForms = False
        .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
      End With
      .Close SaveChanges:=True
    End With
  End If
  strFile = Dir()
Wend
Set wdDoc = Nothing
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Function GetFolder() As String
Dim oFolder As Object
GetFolder = ""
Set oFolder = CreateObject("Shell.Application").BrowseForFolder(0, "Choose a folder", 0)
If (Not oFolder Is Nothing) Then GetFolder = oFolder.Items.Item.Path
Set oFolder = Nothing
End Function

The above code includes a folder browser and will update all files in the selected folder.
