WordPipe takes ALL the hard work out of replacing text across multiple Microsoft Word documents.
Use WordPipe Find and Replace for Word to migrate Microsoft Word hyperlinks when you rename file servers, to translate files by applying massive search/replace lists, or find and replace your organization’s name, address, website etc across thousands of worksheets – automatically.
WordPipe is designed as a hands-off tool requiring next to no user intervention, as you would expect for migrating large numbers of files. It copes with a myriad range of Microsoft Word bugs, such as restarting Microsoft Word every 1000 documents to avoid memory errors. It also copes with the largest variety of problem documents of any tool, ranging from password protected and corrupted documents to  to SharePoint locked documents.
To use WordPipe, you simply add a list of search/replace pairs, and for each one, specify where in the document it should be found. Then you tell it which files to process – that’s it!
– as recommended by Microsoft!
