PowerPointPipe Search and Replace 2.7.5

PowerPointPipe Search and Replace 2.7.5 offers an effective tool which helps you to change hyperlinks when a server gets renamed, by SMEs and large organizations when they change their contact details/name/etc, by translators to apply massive search/replace lists - the list of uses is endless.

PowerPointPipe can change thousands or millions of documents, and can even make multiple changes simultaneously to save time. It can be automated to run overnight or over a weekend, and it takes care of passwords, protection, locked fields, read-only files and other messy details.

To use PowerPointPipe, 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 - thats it!

PowerPointPipe offers many more search and replace options than Microsoft PowerPoint; such as hyperlinks, bookmark names, text boxes, shapes, drop down fields, document properties (such as Title, Subject, Author, Company etc) and more.
