If the embedded content is linked to another file (as a reasonable person might do if the content needs to be kept in synch), all you need do is edit the source files.

Unfortunately, that isn't the case--this guy wasn't very computer savvy. To the best of my knowledge, this means I need to go through and open each file in the folder, open each embedded document in each file, and do a find/replace.
