Hi Daniel,
Are you using File=Save as and saving to the new name or when you open the document using the Office Button then 'Convert'?
If you use convert the original file should be replaced with the new one (which can be a problem for some folks if they need that)
although the original file name won't be cleared from the listing in File=Open until you close Word.
If you use Office Button=Save and choose a different file name or file type you would get an additional file and retain your
original.
You can add the convert button to your quick access toolbar when you open a .doc file by using Office Button, right click on
'convert' and add it. It will only 'light up' when a document would need to switch from a 2003 to a 2007 format.
There is a batch migration tool for deployments (part of a set of tools, rather than a standalone) but it too creates a new set of
documents as the default, rather than chance losing content).
==================

Is there one step that you can do to change older documents to the 2007
version? The only way I know to do it is to do it one document at a time -
and it reduplicates the document. I just want to convert it. Thanks.
