There is a wonderful utility called Search and Replace that will
change whatever you want in unopened files. You have to buy
the registered version ($25.00 when I bought mine) in order to
get the full functionality (the replace function is not enabled in
the shareware version).
I highly recommend it. When the area code for our
telephone numbers changed, I had to change the telephone
number in over 200 documents, and the idea of spending a
week opening and searching documents to change
telephone numbers did not appeal to me. That's when I found
Search and Replace, and I love it!
Here is the information on where to find it:

For the Windows 95 or Windows NT environment, is there a tool capable
of doing search and replace operations on multiple, unopened files?
Obviously, a tool that can save you the time and trouble of opening,
fixing, and then saving and closing all the files associated with a
given web site is a useful tool indeed.
In the Mac environment, this is done with a tool called HTML Grinder.
