I believe the issues you are having with my macro are that the Excel data are stored for the Find/Replace as ASCII characters, but Persian requires the use of non-ASCII Unicode characters. You may get better results with:
Code:
Sub BulkFindReplace()
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Dim strFolder As String, strFile As String, wdDoc As Document
Dim StrWkBkNm As String, StrWkSht As String
Dim xlApp As Object, xlWkBk As Object, xlWkSht As Object
Dim bStrt As Boolean, bFound As Boolean, lRow As Long, i As Long
StrWkBkNm = "C:\Users\" & Environ("Username") & "\Documents\Workbook Name.xls"
StrWkSht = "Sheet1"
If Dir(StrWkBkNm) = "" Then
MsgBox "Cannot find the designated workbook: " & StrWkBkNm, vbExclamation
Exit Sub
End If
'Get the folder to process
strFolder = GetFolder
If strFolder = "" Then Exit Sub
strFile = Dir(strFolder & "\*.doc", vbNormal)
' Test whether Excel is already running.
On Error Resume Next
bStrt = False ' Flag to record if we start Excel, so we can close it later.
Set xlApp = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")
'Start Excel if it isn't running
If xlApp Is Nothing Then
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
If xlApp Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Can't start Excel.", vbExclamation
Exit Sub
End If
' Record that we've started Excel.
bStrt = True
End If
On Error GoTo 0
'Check if the workbook is open.
bFound = False
With xlApp
'Hide our Excel session
If bStrt = True Then .Visible = False
For Each xlWkBk In .Workbooks
If xlWkBk.FullName = StrWkBkNm Then ' It's open
Set xlWkBk = xlWkBk
bFound = True
Exit For
End If
Next
' If not open by the current user.
If bFound = False Then
' Check if another user has it open.
If IsFileLocked(StrWkBkNm) = True Then
' Report and exit if true
MsgBox "The Excel workbook is in use." & vbCr & "Please try again later.", vbExclamation, "File in use"
If bStrt = True Then .Quit
Exit Sub
End If
' The file is available, so open it.
Set xlWkBk = .Workbooks.Open(FileName:=StrWkBkNm)
If xlWkBk Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Cannot open:" & vbCr & StrWkBkNm, vbExclamation
If bStrt = True Then .Quit
Exit Sub
End If
End If
Set xlWkSht = xlWkBk.Worksheets(StrWkSht)
lRow = xlWkSht.UsedRange.Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(-4162).Row ' -4162 = xlUp
End With
'Process each document in the folder
While strFile <> ""
Set wdDoc = Documents.Open(FileName:=strFolder & "\" & strFile, AddToRecentFiles:=False, Visible:=False)
'Process each word from the F/R List
For i = 1 To lRow
With wdDoc.Range
With .Find
.ClearFormatting
.Replacement.ClearFormatting
.MatchWholeWord = True
.MatchCase = True
.Wrap = wdFindStop
.Text = Trim(xlWkSht.Range("A" & i).Value)
.Replacement.Text = Trim(xlWkSht.Range("B" & i).Value)
.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With
End With
Next
'Close the document
wdDoc.Close SaveChanges:=True
'Get the next document
strFile = Dir()
Wend
If bFound = False Then xlWkBk.Close False
If bStrt = True Then xlApp.Quit
' Release Excel object memory
Set xlWkBk = Nothing: Set xlApp = 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
Function IsFileLocked(strFileName As String) As Boolean
On Error Resume Next
Open strFileName For Binary Access Read Write Lock Read Write As #1
Close #1
IsFileLocked = Err.Number
Err.Clear
End Function
I don't know what the issues might be with the utility in the link.
