Word Documents - batch convert title property from file name
Hi,
Does anyone know of a way to batch convert a folder of word documents, setting the Title property from the filename? OR.... is there any software that converts from Word to mobi/prc that uses the filename rather than the title property? Thanks Tom |

In windows 2000 and later you can use a tool called cscript, it's an interpreter that allows you to run code written in VBScript(basic) or JScript (javaScript) To see how the Name/Author are set in VBA(basic) take a look at the source in the tool I wrote BookCreator =X= |

Thanks for the replies.
I found something that works: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/magazine/cc163637.aspx Luckily, I'm a .NET programmer already so could understand how to use this solution. It's basically an executable that runs on your machine - select a folder, set some options and hey presto... batch setting of title properties. Tom |
