In a SharePoint 2003 document library, we need to recategorize a wholelot of documents (around 700). How can we edit the properties of abunch of documents at the same time?
Have you tried datasheet view????????
I personally use the datasheet view or export the list into excel -both work great to modify a large list.
I know a good open source tool for that: Batch Edit!http://sp2010batchedit.codeplex.com/A Bulk & Batch updating list properties Ribbon Button in SharePoint 2010. This ribbon button makes it possible to update multiple items with a single click.
