Default Macro to Change Document Font in All Documents in a Folder

Hi All!

My ultimate goal is to write a macro that can be used via a simple Word shortcut key to 1) select a folder and 2) format the font of all Word documents in that folder.

I have been attempting to write a macro that can do the following:

1) Set all font to Times New Roman
2) Set all font size to 12 point
3) Remove text shading
4) Set font color to Automatic
5) Set scaling to 100%

I have tried recording a macro to do this but it only works on the document I have open. The macro is below:

Sub TestMacro()
'
' TestMacro Macro
'
'
Selection.WholeStory
Selection.Shading.Texture = wdTextureNone
Selection.Shading.ForegroundPatternColor = wdColorAutomatic
Selection.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = wdColorAutomatic
Selection.Font.Name = "Times New Roman"
Selection.Font.Size = 12
With Selection.Font
.NameFarEast = "+Body Asian"
.NameAscii = "Times New Roman"
.NameOther = "Times New Roman"
.Name = "Times New Roman"
.Size = 12
.Bold = False
.Italic = False
.Underline = wdUnderlineNone
.UnderlineColor = wdColorAutomatic
.StrikeThrough = False
.DoubleStrikeThrough = False
.Outline = False
.Emboss = False
.Shadow = False
.Hidden = False
.SmallCaps = False
.AllCaps = False
.Color = wdColorAutomatic
.Engrave = False


.Superscript = False
.Subscript = False
.Spacing = 0
.Scaling = 100
.Position = 0
.Kerning = 0
.Animation = wdAnimationNone
.DisableCharacterSpaceGrid = False
.EmphasisMark = wdEmphasisMarkNone
.SizeBi = 12
.NameBi = "Times New Roman"
.BoldBi = False
.ItalicBi = False
.Ligatures = wdLigaturesNone
.NumberSpacing = wdNumberSpacingDefault
.NumberForm = wdNumberFormDefault
.StylisticSet = wdStylisticSetDefault
.ContextualAlternates = 0
End With
End Sub

My problem is that I don't know how to get this to work on batches of documents in a folder. Can anyone point in the right direction to accomplish this? Thank you so much for your help!

There are numerous threads here with code showing how to loop through all documents in a folder - even for processing sub-folders. You might start by looking at those.
