How It Works

Add Replace Pairs

Type them in, import from Excel, or paste from a CSV file. Specify where each replacement should apply (hyperlinks, headers, text boxes, etc).

Point at Files

Select a folder (with subfolders), a network share, SharePoint library, or paste a file list. Process .doc, .docx, .rtf, .odt, and more.

Run

WordPipe handles everything — password-protected files, locked fields, corrupted documents. Full audit log on completion.
