Default Need to find/replace text in many word files - but text is in embedded word files

Hi all,

I'm having an issue where my predecessor made a ton of Word files, and instead of copying/pasting paragraphs like a sane person, he embedded Word documents into Word documents.

I now need to add a sentence to each and every one of these documents. I intended to use a find/replace macro to search each file in the folder, but I'm not sure how to modify it to search through each embedded Word object within each Word document.

Here's the VBA macro I had found and planned to use before realizing text was in embedded objects within the documents:
