How can I make a general change to multiple files which are the sa
I am a teacher who has just set up 28 files for each student in my class.
Each file contains a table with different headings. I would like to add a new row (with new heading) to each of the 28 files. Is this possible to do quickly, without having to open the 28 files individually? |

Hi Ximelore,
Perhaps an MVP can come up with the solution you want. My guess is that the fastest way to accomplish this is copy, and paste in each document - and yes, a document has to be open to allow pasting.

No it is not possible to add a row to a table in a document without
that document being opened. You could do with a macro that processess a batch of files located in a common folder. "Quickly" in this case would depend on how long it takes you to write the macro. You can get a sample of code used to open and perform a task on a batch of files by downloaded my VBA Find and Replace template he http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/VBA_Find_And_Replace.htm Once you get the individual file open, you could do your task with something like: Sub AddRowToTable() Dim oDoc As Word.Document Set oDoc = ActiveDocument With oDoc.Tables(1) .Rows.Add With .Cell(1, 1) .Range.Text = "New Heading Text" End With End With End Sub |
