To make Office Word documents readable and manageable, and to facilitate a more intuitive understanding of the file content, using meaningful file names is essential. The file name of a docx can reflect the content and purpose of the document. Reasonable and standardized file naming also helps avoid naming conflicts, making management easier and improving efficiency. If you need to use the content of the first line in multiple docx files as the file name for each file, so that you can directly see the file's content from its name, renaming each file individually is inefficient. The following describes how to batch rename a large number of docx files to use the first line of content as the file name in one go.
1. Use Cases
Rename a Word document file to the first line of text within that document.
Example: Three files named Test 1.docx, Test 2.docx, Test 3.docx
The first lines of which are Earth, Mars, and Mercury respectively
After modification, they become Earth.docx, Mars.docx, Mecury.docx
