Fair comment - I thought i was actually do ok with the graham code and incorporating it into the code, however, obviously not.

the project steamed from the https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...xtensions.html and evolved for more and more.

As I said I thought I had included the whole code. my bad - I can only apologise.

I obviuosly have not been clear.

The project is to find & replace (with repalcement text being highlighted) from an excel doc the following actions,
(1) body of the document (including tables) (orignally discussed here https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...xtensions.html),
(2) headers and Footers (including tables as it would appear),
(3) drop down list ( discussed here https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...tically-2.html),
(4) replace a logo within the Header.

I have 2000 docs to change(as described above) which are in sub-folders.
