Hello everyone.
I am new with Power Automate Desktop and i'm looking for a automation flow.
I have a document folder, which includes .ie 100 Word documents. In manually i need;
1. Open each word documents
2. Change the fonts ie Arial 12
3. Save the document.
Can i do this with power automate, without manual operations?
Thanks
Hello @mbeser
As per your note if you want to do it without manual operations then you can
- Write an Excel macro that changes the font of Word documents (tons of readymade code easily available on the web)
- And then call that macro from within PAD.

Hello @mbeser
You can use keyboard shortcut "Alt - H - FF" to focus into the combobox of font name in the ribbon of Word app.
Below is my sample flow that meets your requirement.

Launch WINWORD.EXE application with /t switch to open your file.
Wait until window of Word application which has your file name in title bar will open.
Then send keys what ever as you like.
Thank you.
You could even use Save As instead of just Save, and save the new version to another folder, then delete the old version; that way if something goes wrong, you will know which ones are done and which ones aren't.
Get Files
For each %CurrentItem% in Files
Launch Word Open: %CurrentItem%
Use the Desktop Recorder to use the menu to Select All, Arial Font, size 12
Save and Close Word
End #For Each
