change template location for a larage number of files

[OM]

Hi,

Not sure if this group will help, but here is my situation.

Our org. have a lot of word documents that are based on various kinds of
word template sitting on the network share. We changed the template
location couple year ago. Since then, it takes very long (7-9sec) to
open a document that is based on the old template location. I can fix
this by changing the template path manually. However, I don't know how
to change this for all the "old documents". Do I have to get a script to
do it.?

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks
