WordPipe Search Replace 5.9.4

WordPipe Search Replace 5.9.4 is a program for IT personnel to update hyperlinks when a server renamed, for SMEs and large organizations to customize their contact details, name or office bearers, and for translators to apply massive search/replace lists, etc.

WordPipe applies one or more replacements to thousands of documents, to every part of your Microsoft Word documents. Using WordPipe is simple. 1) Drag and drop files from Windows Explorer to WordPipe, or right-click the files or folders to process in Windows Explorer and choose WordPipe. 2) Add one or more search/replace pairs. 3) Go!

WordPipe can change thousands or millions of documents, 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 Word crashes!

WordPipe offers many more search and replace options than Microsoft Word; such as hyperlinks, bookmark names, text boxes, shapes, drop down fields, document properties (such as Title, Subject, Author, Company etc) and more. EasyPatterns and Perl regex patterns can also be used. VBA Code Modules can be updated - even if protected with a password.

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