Rename files based on a value in a Field?
The following is a request from a friend. If these were Excel files,
with an asset number in a cell, I could write a macro to accomplish his goal. Since they're Word files, I'm clueless...your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks! "I have an old database application that stored files as Word documents. Each file has the same layout, with an asset number in the same field. I was able to pull the Word files off to a share and now I want to change the file name to the asset number without having to open each file, looking at the number, and then changing it. Does anyone know of a utility that can do this?" |
