How can I easily change en masse the file location of Word 2003 docs saved by previous user?

Question

Existing user has left employer and I want to be able to change the "ownership" of her Word docs so that the footer that I want to show on the printed page shows my file location and not her's. I want to be able to alter as a batch around 250 documents. Can this be done?

Answer 1

If you are into VBA, you can write a macro in Word to open all files in a given folder and replace the text.



It will take you a while to learn it if yuo've enver done it before, but writing MAcros is a good skill if you often work in MS Office.

Answer 2

Go to WINDOWS EXPLORER, locate all the files you require to be changed and select. If it is a block of consecutive files hold the SHIFT key and select the first file in the list then the last file in the list. If the files are scattered then hold the CTRL key while you select each file. Then drag them to the new location, or copy and past to new location.
