  2. Enter your search and replace pairs into WordPipe. You can add as many as you need, and even use wildcards for flexible matching.
  3. Select the files or folders to process. WordPipe can handle entire directories, including subfolders, making it perfect for large projects.
  4. Choose document sections to target. Update body text, headers, footers, hyperlinks, and more—all in one operation.
  5. Run the automation. WordPipe applies your changes to every selected file, generating a summary report for your review.
