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.
