Default Find & Replace text in Field Code across multiple documents

Does anyone know if its possible to create a macro to find and replace a portion of field code across multiple documents?

The fastest way I can do it is:
  1. Press (Alt+F9)
  2. Press (Ctrl+H)
  3. Insert old text in the 'Find' field
  4. Insert New text in the 'Replace' field
  5. Press (Alt+F9)
  6. Repeat process for remaining documents

FYI: the field code being replaced is a link to an excel spreadsheet.
I wanted to use relative links, but apparently that's not possible

We duplicate a large bunch of documents for every project at work.
Some generic info has to be replaced in each document as per the project & this is the fastest way I can think of doing it.
