Find Replace Globally Including Footnotes

[Fred Goldman]

There is a great macro that searches and replaces in all docuements of a
folder, but it doesn't search the footnotes. Is there anyway to edit it to
search the footnotes, too?

Here's the link to the macro:

Fred,

This doesn't answer your question but provides an alternate solution:

document including Headers, Footers, Textboxes, etc." at:

Doug,

As I indicated yesterday in reply to a similar post, this does not find
and replace text in a textbox located in the header or footer.

See:
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/ReplaceAnywhere.htm

I thought that John was going to replace the earlier article with the
one above. I don't know why he put it in Customizations? I will have
to ask.

Hi Greg,

Thanks for the link, but the problem I've got a ton of files in this folder,
and they all have a lot of footnotes. Is there anyway to incorporate the
macro that searches in all parts of the document with the one that
find/changes in every document of a folder?

Yes

Fred,

How closely did you look at the link? There is an option to "process a
batch of files." That means a batch of files in one folder.

I can't believe I missed that, I'm going to give a try right now, thank you
Greg and Doug.

Greg,

That was one of the best macros I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot). Thanks
a million for the link!

That is not a bad compliment either ;-). Thank you. I am glad that you
find it useful.

Thanks Greg.

This worked great.
