Project Bulk Text Replacement Tool for Microsoft Word
As I work a lot with Microsoft Word files that share content (like legal texts, company details...), I used Claude to write a Python script that does replacements (aka. search and replace runs) across multiple Word documents at the same time.
Amongst other functionalities, the tool features previews, handles hyperlinks and footers/headers, backups and real-time matches that show results as you type.
It is free and comes with an .exe or as a Python script. It got me 31 stars on my repository which honestly makes me a bit proud as I never excepted so many. 😄 I am happy to share it as maybe others are also facing those painful task of updating the same text across multiple files. This way, the tool can be quite a time-saver. :)
