Funduc has a similar software which isn't free, but it deals with more file formats (from what I can tell). Been using it for many years, and it has saved me a lot of time.

Ouch. Word files can produce enough problems even if you only ever touch them with Word, so I'm not going to introduce another potential problem source. The shady internet connection issue just reaffirms me in this. ▲ Collapse

I've been using this for a few years and have never had a problem. I've found that it can make changes in Zip files, so care must be taken when they're in the same directory as the files requiring changes.
