How do I search for terms in other documents than the one I have ope
with Microsoft Word
 
What version of Word? In Word 2003, choose File - File Search. In Word 2002
(XP), choose File - Open, then choose Tools - Search inside the Open dialog
box.
 
Take a look at the vba FAQ page on the MVP FAQ. There is a page there about
batch processing that shows how to use replace on all files in a folder. It
should get you started.
