Editing the fields in properties/summary (Title, Author, Comments etc)

Right, I don't know what this information is called. So much for looking in
Windows Help ... it tells you things like how to add a comment (which I knew
anyway) but nothing about the terminology and what these fields are called.

These are the fields you see when you select properties of a file and go to
the Summary tab. Title, Subject, Author, Keywords, Comments.

I am looking for some software that quite simply lets me edit these fields
in BULK. Crude old Windows doesn't let you edit in bulk. Selecting several
files and doing properties/summary has the fields greyed out.

I have tried various things that looked like they should do this but the
comments did not show when I looked at properties/summary. Some apps seem
to write comments fine but not to this place.

Has anyone out there found something that will let me bulk edit these fields
?

It's Windows XP Pro I am using.

Cheers,


Woody
