Good Morning,

As a very rusty VBA person, I am looking for some support with a script that will:

Open multiple Word documents in multiple folder locations - all the files are within a folder hierachy, so selecting the top folder will work for my purposes if it applies to all subfolders.

Replace specific words in all the documents. I have a list of about 20 words that I need to replace with alternatives. The replacement words must match the case of the replacement word and not the case of the current word. No wildcards needed.

Save documents - no need to save in alternative place.

I can find scripts that almost do what I need, but would be grateful for any experts getting me the full way.

Thanks in advance.

To which scripts are you referring and in what sense do they 'almost' do what you need?

Hi Paul,

I can find scripts that allow one word at a time over documents saved in the same folder, but where these fail is that I can't get the script to do multiple words or to automatically pick up all word documents in subfolders.

Thanks,

Ben

Thank you both for your useful replies. I think I'm sorted now.
