Default Macro for all docx in subdirectories

Hi. I'm not the best with macros and VBA but I have a macro that I use to style documents that I want to apply to all files spread throughout a series of subdirectories. I've been trying a few things that I've seen suggested here and there but I haven't figured out anything that works. The macro I want to apply is as follows:

Sub QuickFormat()
'
' QuickFormat Macro
' Quick Format for Books
'
Selection.WholeStory
With Selection.ParagraphFormat
.SpaceBefore = 0
.SpaceBeforeAuto = False
.SpaceAfter = 0
.SpaceAfterAuto = False
.LineSpacingRule = wdLineSpaceSingle
.LineUnitBefore = 0
.LineUnitAfter = 0
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.LargeScroll Down:=3
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text = "^l"
.Replacement.Text = "^p"
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False


.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.LargeScroll Down:=3
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text = "^p"
.Replacement.Text = "^p^p"
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.LargeScroll Down:=3
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text = "^p "
.Replacement.Text = "^p"
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.LargeScroll Down:=3
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text = "^p "
.Replacement.Text = "^p"
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
Selection.WholeStory
With Selection.ParagraphFormat
.SpaceBefore = 0
.SpaceBeforeAuto = False
.SpaceAfter = 0
.SpaceAfterAuto = False
.LineSpacingRule = wdLineSpaceSingle
.CharacterUnitFirstLineIndent = 0
.LineUnitBefore = 0
.LineUnitAfter = 0
End With
Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
Selection.WholeStory
Selection.LanguageID = wdEnglishAUS
Application.CheckLanguage = False
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text = "^p^p^p^p"
.Replacement.Text = "^p^p"
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll

End Sub

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Default

See https://www.gmayor.com/document_batch_processes.htm which will handle the files and folders.
See https://www.gmayor.com/replace_using_wildcards.htm for how to replace extra empty paragraphs.

Thanks Graham. That's a great solution for the find/replace things I needed to do. I still need a way to change the language and change the spacing before and after paragraphs though. Any ideas?

You can create a custom process to do that, using the format described both on the web page and in the program's help files.

I've spent the last few days trying to figure out how to make this work. Do I have to re-write the whole macro using Boolean or will it work without? To be honest Boolean makes practically zero sense to me. I apologise if that's an extremely ignorant question.

You have to create the macro as shown on the web site and in the Help file. The Boolean options are there to provide the logging and error reporting. Based on your original macro it would need to be something like

Code:
Function QuickFormat(oDoc As Document) As Boolean
Dim orng As Range
    Set orng = ActiveDocument.Range
    On Error GoTo err_Handler
    With orng.ParagraphFormat
        .SpaceBefore = 0
        .SpaceBeforeAuto = False
        .SpaceAfter = 0
        .SpaceAfterAuto = False
        .LineSpacingRule = wdLineSpaceSingle
        .CharacterUnitFirstLineIndent = 0
        .LineUnitBefore = 0
        .LineUnitAfter = 0
    End With
    orng.LanguageID = wdEnglishAUS
    QuickFormat = True
lbl_Exit:
    Exit Function
err_Handler:
    QuickFormat = False
    Resume lbl_Exit
End Function
