Actually you can use the Find tab to do this. There you can enter an 
expression. Although is is designed so that and expression can be used to 
find things, it can also be used to execute an expression en masse.

Go to the Documents "Folder", click on the find tab. Click on advanced. In 
the expr field enter something like:

manage_changeProperties(foo=bar)

Where foo is the name of the property to copy to and bar is the one to copy 
from.
