You'll have to investigate the actually syntax for modifying/adding the footer as I don't know off the top of my head but it goes something like this. $wordobj=new-object -comobject word.application $wordobj.documents.open('c:\mydoc.docx') > $null $wordobj.activedocument.sections.first.footer.item(1).range.text = "Private" $wordobj.activedocument.save() $wordobj.ActiveDocument.Close() Joe From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of pcthakkar@xxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2010 9:39 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: OT - Document Management Tool Interesting Joe, can you please elaborate...this is something that's really useful...

Joe From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Angela Smith Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2010 9:20 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] OT - Document Management Tool Hi Im looking for a tool that will allow me to classify all Office documents by updating the footer with a particular classification. Eg Private Internal. I need to be able to run this tool on my file servers so it automatically opens each file and appends the footer accordingly. Has anyone used such a tool?? I have over 100 000 files hence the need for an automated tool/process. The only product I have found is Titus Labs Document Classification but its a 30k product.. Hopefully I can find something cheaper... Thanks Ang
