Convert Word 2003 and Office 2003 to 2007 format

Posted on January 5, 2010March 9, 2015 by Alan

I have completed my project to script the conversion of 2003 files. Office Convert.zip contains scripts to convert Word and Excel 2003 files to 2007. The scripts call touch.exe, a utility that allows me to set the new files with the same filestamp data as the originals. It can be downloaded from http://www.codeproject.com/KB/applications/touch_win.aspx.

The scripts can be run interactively or from the command line. Examples are in the ZIP.

All the scripts are saved as .txt files. Newer files have a “View Script” button which will let you save or open a script in notepad. For earlier posts, the easiest way to download with IE is to right click on the link and use “Save Target As”. Rename file from Name_ext.txt to Name.ext.
