Subject:Massive Word Doc changes - What would you do? From:Geoff Hart <ghart -at- videotron -dot- ca> To:techwr-l List <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com>, Emoto <emoto1 -at- gmail -dot- com> Date:Tue, 27 May 2008 11:56:53 -0400
Emoto wondered: <<I have several hundred Word docs that need certain
text strings replaced. They also need a graphic on the front page and
in the footers replaced... Anyone have a good multi-file find and
replace that can be used on everything at once?>>
Yup: MegaReplacer (http://www.editorium.com/14843.htm). People who
need it bad swear by it -- which is a nice change from swearing at
Word. <g>
