How to Search and Replace Text in Excel and Word Files in Batch


If you use Excel or Word extensively and would like to perform “find and replace” operations in batch right from your desktop, you can do so with “Replace Genius”, a freeware program that allows you to find and replace text within Excel, Word, and text files. A great advantage is that it allows you to combine your desired text manipulation operations together and save them in “presets”. Not only can you keep these for later use, but you can also use them to perform operations on files in batch.
