converting files wtih headers

We have 400 staff resumes in Word. The resume template has the staff name and titles are in a header. We have a third party indexing utility called Folio that automatically converts the .doc files into .rtf before doing the indexing.
Our problem is the staff name in the header is not being exported so it does not get indexed.

Is there a way to force the header information to be exported?
Or
Is there a utilty that can batch convert the files to text with the headers?

Thanks
Don

If you ran a macro containing the following command it will take the
information from the header and place it at the beginning of the document:

ActiveDocument.Range.InsertBefore
ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterP rimary).Range

You could use a batch process to do this on all of the files in a particular
folder

The macro in the article “Find & ReplaceAll on a batch of documents in the
same folder� at:

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/BatchFR.htm

could be modified for the purpose.
