A forum search wouldn't have gone astray. See, for example:

VBA Find and Replace don't go in my system with the option find and replace in a folder.
Only works find and replace a phrase.
I don't know how to do the file with the set of phrases to be found and replaced.

Paul my problem is that i am not a programmer. So I try the more easy way for me. I don't try to learn VBA beyond insertion of the code or little modifications.
I am trying with success now these codes :

https://www.datanumen.com/blogs/find-replace-multiple-items-word-document/

and other for find and replace files in a folder, but not its subfolders like may do greg utility.

Best Regards

I have seen one of the link you provided.
The table of substitutions seems a word table of two columns with the extension docx

table.docx



I will try this and comment. But seems to me I am doing something wrong with greg maxey utility because in the folder and subfolder optiones there is not interaction at all.

We can't see what you're doing. We can point you to proven solutions - for which you don't have to be a programmer - but it's up to you to implement them, following the clear instructions given in the links you've been provided. Choose the one approach that best meets your needs and stick with it; don't try to cobble together something from parts of the different solutions.
