Default Word Automation - Find/Replace

I've got an Excel macro that opens up a Word document, then uses Find/Replace
on the Word Document. Upon testing, it seems the code is able to find the
text, but is not replacing it. I don't get any errors when the code compiles
or runs.

Following is an Excel macro I wrote as a test. When I copy this macro into
my word document, remark out the lines that don't apply to Word (references
to WordApp and WordDoc), and replace WordDoc with ThisDocument in the first
line of my With statement, it runs fine. Any thoughts?

Sub Test()
Const X As String = "%LetterDate%"
Const Y As String = "July 10, 2005"
Dim WordApp as Object
Dim WordDoc as Object

Set WordApp = CreateObject ("Word.Application")
WordApp.Visible = True
WordApp.Documents.Open Filename:="C:\Letters\TSLetter.doc"
Set WordDoc = WordApp.ActiveDocument

With WordDoc.Content.Find
.Text = X
.Replacement.Text = Y
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = True
.MatchWildCards = True
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
MsgBox .Found
End With

WordDoc.Close SaveChanges:=True
WordApp.Quit
Set WordApp = Nothing

End Sub
