Repeat editing in word

[jennifer]

Is there a way to have changes made to all paragraphs containing the
same text by only changing it once? Is it also possible to do it
accross many word documents by perhaps creating a macro, and then
modifying it so that all the macros are changed?

For a single document, use the Replace dialog and, after setting up the Find
What box and the Replace With box, then click the Replace All button.

For a macro that makes the same changes to all documents in a single folder, see
