For your convenience, Metadata Miner Catalogue software allows you to setup a list of standard and customized fields with values, save the list as a template, apply it on selected Microsoft Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).

This template list can then be used as a model for a mass update on all documents within a folder and optionally in a recursive way including sub-folders. Of course you may also use it to set metadata values to blank or zero by file types, on selected files or on all Office files within a folder.

Office file properties that can be cleansed:
Standard: Author, Subject, Keywords, Revision number, Manager, Company
Customized: all user defined.

Summary Information Cleanse example:
Set a list of metadata fields to specific values using your custom template

If you would like to set "Company" standard field and "Project" user defined field to all documents you choose:

1- open Mass Update dialog box (F6)
2- click on Settings , create a new model-template and choose those properties, indicate new values
3- click on Modify button to apply changes on documents you choose
4- then this template will be saved and you will be able to recall it later via button Settings and apply again on other set of documents just using Modify button.
