That's what I wanted to hear. With over 20,000 documents at stake I think we'll just leave them as is. :) Regards, Paul -----Original Message----- From: ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com [mailto:ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com] On Behalf Of Sezai Komur Sent: Thursday, 17 March 2011 11:11 AM To: ozMOSS Subject: Re: Bulk update Word docs with new template This is an extremely complicated requirement. If all documents have a similar uniform structure and they are office 2007 format and newer you could potentially use the Open XML Api to update the documents with .net code. Be warned that it will require a lot of risky dev and depends on uniform structure of all the documents being updated. You are better off getting them to drop the requirement! Or get them to assign an end user to work through updating all the documents manually, it will cost less. Sezai.
