I remember once awhile back, an automated sheet entry generator server was once
mentioned in this news group. Perhaps somebody remembers what it was called.

| A different way but not better - double click each sheet entry and type in
| the new name.

| Updating an already placed sheet symbol from the sheet would be a
| worthwhile feature. But care would need to be taken by who ever wrote it
| that existing sheet entries were not moved and new sheet entries did not
| take the place of deleted entries, or, more accurately new sheet entries
| should not be put in a location that would cause a connection to an
| existing wire (at least without a warning and maybe ERC marker). This is
| to reduce the chance of accidental connections or changes to existing
| connections. I can see why such a feature may have not been implemented as
| the risk of subtle changes to a design are not insignificant.
