batch find/replace and mass rtf conversion
I have a thousand or so documents I need to change "Licence No AA", "Licence
No BB" and "Licence No CC" to "Licence No XX". I can't imagine doing this one at a time... 1) Can anyone tell me how to batch replace text in word and rtf files? 2) How about mass convert all word files to rtf? |

Why, use macros of course!
Use Dir function to iterate files. Also record the sequence of opening file, replacing some text, and saving as rtf. If you use "license#" from file title to replace in this one's document text, use string manipulation. You will probably need to install MS Word Macro Help files, the rest of process is intuitive, I suppose... " сообщил/сообщила в новостях следующее: ...
