Search and Replace multiple Microsoft PowerPoint presentations. Find and replace multiple search/replace pairs at the same time.

PowerPointPipe is a mass search and replace tool designed to ease the editing of hundreds or thousands of presentations when they all need changing, such as changing an organization's phone number, address, web site, CEO etc.

PowerPointPipe takes ALL the hard work out of replacing text across multiple Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentations. Just imagine - next time your organization changes its phone number, address, web site or CEO - just run PowerPointPipe across your file server or website to fix all affected presentations in one hit. Translators can use PowerPointPipe's grid to define multiple search/replace pairs.

You can also run PowerPointPipe in search-only mode to locate documents needing manual change.

Use it for...

Standardizing corporate name changes such as your organization's phone number, address, web site or CEO
Performing server consolidations where document links need updating
Server renaming or replacement where document links need updating
Updating documents to use Microsoft Namespace Server mappings
Changing part numbers or SKUs across multiple files
Translating documents
and much more.
