Find and Replace in multiple docs in one folder

[Robert_L_Ross]

How do I do a find and replace in multiple documents in the same folder?

For example, if we are moving a folder from one spot on the directory to
another (from g:\a f s\*.* to g:\ogs_220\*.*), how do I write a macro or
something that will open each document one at a time, do a find and replace
on the document, save then close and go to the next document?

Thanks!

Dear Robert,
I've changed from Times New Roman to Gentium and have had to do alot of
global replacing and font replacing. Now Find and Replace won't find
anything, won't find a word standing right in front of my eyes! I've cleared
all the fonts out of the formatting and unchecked all the boxes, but it still
doesn't work. Shoul I reinstall?

Andrew,
In the Find and Replace Dialog, make sure that the formatting is cleared for
both Find What: and Replace With: input boxes. There should be a blank area
directly underneath both those input boxes. If it says something there, then
all the formatting is not cleared. To clear a box, click inside the box and
then click the No Formatting button.
