Since you're having trouble with that add-in (as you were in https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/finding-many-words-across-many-documents/12c1b287-332d-4b08-a7f9-3bb8a58b6a84) see, for example:

And, if you want to process sub-folders as well, see also: https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-vba/16209-run-macro-multiple-docx-files.html#post47785 for the kind of code modifications needed to do that.
Find and replace many words across many documents

Hi
I have been using Graham Mayor's batch processing macros document to do find & replace across many documents for individual words, but I can't get it to work for multiple words. I put them in the table & it says it processes the documents, but it doesn't actually make any changes to them.
It would be really useful to be able to do multiple words at once. Does anyone know a macro I can type in to do this?
Thanks very much
Padwandaman
