title: VBA macro to find and replace a string of text in any word files within a selected folder

  <p>I'm very new to VBA. What i want to be able to have is a macro attached to a button in excel that can 'on click': </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>allow me to navigate to a folder</li>
  <li>Search that folder for any word files (.doc)</li>
  <li>Then perform a find and replace for a specific string of text that may be within any of those .doc files with the folder.</li>
  <li>close and save the amended .doc's</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I found the question (please see link) which seems very similar code to what i need, although i dont need to go through any sub folders, just want to search through one folder that i navigate to at the start of the process.</p>
  
  <p>I dont know enough about VBA to edit code confidently and would really appreciate your help with a solution.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you,</p>
  
  <p>Alex</p>
