Anyone who has ever used Microsoft Word knows that it is a powerful word processing package. It's loaded with dozens of features designed to make creating documents a breeze. And anyone who has used Word's Find and Replace feature knows that this is one handy feature. It makes changing words or phrases throughout your documents fast and painless.

And that's great when you're working on just one document. But suppose you need to find and then replace a word or phrase throughout all of your Microsoft documents or throughout all documents located within a particular directory? You know, like when there's been a change to your business address or telephone number? Or when there's been a change of ownership, or upper management, or to the board of directors?

You could use the Find and Replace feature to change your documents one by one. Using this feature will make changes faster than not using it. But if you're changing lots of documents and you need to make the changes rapidly, you need something more.

And that's exactly the reason why WordPipe was invented. WordPipe is a stand-alone add-in tool for Microsoft Word. Use this incredible add-in to instantly modify ALL text, links or images located on your web site or on your file server. How instantly can changes be made? Users report that 500 changes can be made in about twenty minutes!

Once you use this add-in you'll find yourself making changes just so you can come up with more reasons to run WordPipe across your server. Well, maybe not. But you get the idea. Today's business world is in a constant state of change. And to keep up with these changes, and to keep your business on the cutting edge of technology, your business will experience change.

Document links change when you consolidate your servers and even when you are simply replacing or renaming documents. Web addresses change, names of key players within your company change, product versions and other information changes ? there's just no end to the amount and type of information that changes when you run a business.

And those with whom you do business need to know about these changes the moment they occur. Time is money so any way you can cut down on the amount of time a task takes, the less money you waste.

IT departments love WordPipe. But even if your business is not yet large enough to hire a full-time IT staff, you won't lose with WordPipe. WordPipe is accountable, too! Its change log lets you know exactly where it made changes.

It doesn't matter whether you need to find and replace information that is contained inside headers, footers, textboxes, links, hyperlinks, hyperlink addresses, field codes or any other built-in or customized document property, in any folder or sub-folder. Even files marked as read-only can be modified using the special tool.

Need to change your company logo wherever it appears in your documents? No problem. WordPipe will work on a number of file types including .doc, .rtf, .html, .htm, .dot, .txt, .asc, .ans, .wri, .mcw, .wpd, .wps or any custom document type.

WordPipe supports all versions of Microsoft Word except Word 97 and earlier. This add-in runs on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP and 2003.

So remember the one golden rule of business: Nothing stays the same. Accept this. Then seek out the tools that will help your business keep up with these changes. And, most importantly, ensure the information your business generates is kept current, or your customers will go elsewhere!
