Hi there, I'm working with Microsoft's Office 2007 and I need to search and replace a text in multiple documents which are located in subdirectories. I am looking for a Search and Replace Tool, that allows me to replace in several docx documents. The existing ones do not work (or are way too expensive.) I've found a tool for 2003 but it doesn't work in Word 2007.

Does anybody have an idea?
Thanks. Peter.

Thanks, Peter

What doesn't work with the macro that was written for 2003?

I don't do too many Word macros and I don't have 2007, but I do see one thing that pops out at me.

The code is looking for .doc files, but you want to make changes to .docx files.

Try changing this line:

myFile = Dir$(PathToUse & "*.doc")

to

myFile = Dir$(PathToUse & "*.docx")

Multiple Find And Replace v1.00

or http://www.nonags.com/nonags/filese... for their whole list of this type of application.
May be worth a look at.
