What would be the point of this exercise? Word 2007 will open Word doc
format without problem. Those documents that you need to update and change
you can do so when you need to update them. Having said that, the following
should save all the files in a selected folder as docx.
Sub SaveAllAsDOCX()
Dim strFileName As String
Dim strDocName As String
Dim strPath As String
Dim oDoc As Document
With Dialogs(wdDialogCopyFile)
If .Display 0 Then
strPath = .Directory
Else
MsgBox "Cancelled by User"
Exit Sub
End If
End With
If Documents.Count 0 Then
Documents.Close SaveChanges:=wdPromptToSaveChanges
End If
If Left(strPath, 1) = Chr(34) Then
strPath = Mid(strPath, 2, Len(strPath) - 2)
End If
strFileName = Dir$(strPath & "*.doc")
While Len(strFileName) 0
Set oDoc = Documents.Open(strPath & strFileName)
strDocName = ActiveDocument.FullName
intPos = InStrRev(strDocName, ".")
strDocName = Left(strDocName, intPos - 1)
strDocName = strDocName & "docx"
oDoc.SaveAs FileName:=strDocName, _
FileFormat:=wdFormatDocumentDefault
oDoc.Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges
strFileName = Dir$()
Wend
End Sub

I have over 14,000 Word files in .doc format. Can I batch-convert
them to .docx format. It would be unrealistic to convert them
one-by-one.
