PowerPointPipe Search and Replace 3.1.3

PowerPointPipe Search and Replace 3.1.3 is a great application allowing you to easily edit many presentations such as when changing an organization's phone number, address, web site.

PowerPointPipe takes all the hard work out of replacing text across multiple Microsoft® Power Point presentations. Just imagine - next time your organization changes its phone number, address, web site or CEO just run PowerPointPipe across your file server or website to fix all affected presentations in one hit. Translators can use PowerPointPipe's grid to define multiple search/replace pairs. You can also run PowerPointPipe in search-only mode to locate documents needing manual change.

PowerPointPipe can change thousands or millions of presentations, and can make multiple changes simultaneously to save time. It automatically handles read-only files, passwords and other protection, and it can be automated to run overnight or over a weekend. No user interaction is required. It even includes restart recovery in case Microsoft PowerPoint crashes!

PowerPointPipe offers many more search and replace options than Microsoft PowerPoint; such as hyperlinks, text boxes, shapes, document properties (such as Title, Subject, Author, Company etc) and more. EasyPatterns and Perl regex patterns can also be used.

Unlike competing products, PowerPointPipe is fully Unicode compliant (allowing Find and Replace with international character sets), and can handle an unlimited number of presentations and find/replace pairs. PowerPointPipe can also update ISO-9001 version numbers. PowerPointPipe can search/replace both .PPT and .PPTX PowerPoint document formats.

Using PowerPointPipe is simple.

• Drag and drop files from Windows Explorer to PowerPointPipe, or right-click the files or folders to process in Windows Explorer and choose PowerPointPipe
• Add one or more search/replace pairs.
