Name documents and ebooks from the fields that matter
Zush reads supported document content to suggest names for Word files, spreadsheets, presentations, and ebooks. Choose fields for the job: client and subject for a proposal, reporting period for a spreadsheet, or author and title for a book.
- Start with a small folder of copies and choose a Template for that document type.
- Generate names, then verify clients, dates, versions, authors, and titles against the source. Leave missing details out instead of accepting a guess.
- Review duplicate names and extensions, apply the batch, and test rename history before processing the archive.

Document renaming methods
Which way to rename Word and Excel files
Word and Excel rename only the file you have open. For a folder of drafts and spreadsheets, the method depends on how many files you have and whether the name should come from what is inside them.
| Method | Best for | Where it stops |
|---|---|---|
| Word or Excel Save As | The one document or workbook you are editing right now | One file at a time; Save As leaves the old copy behind, and Word suggests the first line, not the subject. |
| Finder / File Explorer | Adding the same prefix, date, or number to a selection | Applies one rule to every file without opening any of them, so it cannot tell a budget from a payroll export. |
| Scripts (VBA, PowerShell, Shortcuts) | A fixed rule built from a cell value or field in a predictable template | Breaks when the layout differs and needs maintenance. |
| Document properties | Searching by Title or Author inside Office and SharePoint | Properties are often stale and do not change the filename people see in folders and email. |
| Zush | Mixed DOCX, DOC, RTF, ODT, XLSX, XLS, ODS, and CSV files that each need a name from their content, with preview and undo | It does not edit document properties or update links in other files; rename closed copies and refresh dependent files afterwards. |
