WordPipe is used by IT personnel to update hyperlinks when a server gets renamed, by SMEs and large organizations when they change their contact details, name or office bearers, by translators to apply massive search/replace lists - the list of uses is endless.

WordPipe applies one or more replacements to thousands of documents, to every part of your Microsoft Word documents.

- as recommended by Microsoft!

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!

Use it for...

  • Standardizing corporate name changes such as your organization's phone number, address, web site or CEO
  • Performing server consolidations where document links need updating
  • Server renaming or replacement where document links need updating
  • Updating documents to use Microsoft Namespace Server mappings
  • Standardize Policy Headers
  • Changing part numbers or SKUs across multiple files
  • Removing digitized signatures from documents prior to converting them to PDF and placing them on the web
  • Translating documents
  • Correcting OCR (scanned) documents
  • Detecting 'TOP SECRET' documents that have been saved in the wrong folder (by security identifiers located in headers)
  • and much more.

Translators can use WordPipe's grid to define multiple search/replace pairs. Check out our testimonial from a very satisfied user!

I actually went on line 10 minutes after trying the demo and bought the full version. This thing is great!

I figured in the first job that I used it on I did the job for 50% of the cost of the soft dollars it would have taken to do it manually.

494 files changed in about 20 minutes........I'm tickled to death.

Thanks much!

In 453 Word documents, I let WordPipe search for "und" and replace it by "XXX". There were 82429 (!) occurrences. It took only 10 (TEN!!!!) minutes

It's a remarkably powerful utility which-if you need it-can't be beat. It's an industrial strength search & replace utility for Microsoft Word. Without opening a single Word file, you can quickly change thousands of documents with the push of a button. Think Batch Operation-On-Steroids.

Say you change your phone number and need to correct your letterhead in hundreds of documents. Just launch WordPipe and you're home free.

Now that's cool!
