WordPipe is used by IT personnel to update
hyperlinks when a server gets renamed, by SMEs and large organisations 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.
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.

User benefits
Fast!
No limit on the number of documents processed - use it across an entire
file server or web server
Translators can import search/replace lists from Excel, CSV- or
Tab-delimited files
Easy to use with integrated online help
In addition to supporting all of Microsoft Word's search and replace options,
WordPipe offers many more, such as hyperlinks, bookmarks, drop down fields
and more.
Stand-alone - doesn't integrate directly with Microsoft Word so it doesn't
destabilize your installation
My initial use was a smashing success and I am
recommending to our IT manager that it is definitely helpful and worth
getting. It was truly a great time saver.

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!
