Batch convert macosx 2004 office to office 97
I need to transfer years of primarily word documents from MACOSX Office 2004
to Vista Office 2007. I can do them one at a time but that is too cumbersome. Thanks, Uke1 |

Batch convert macosx 2004 office to office 97
I'm not sure what you're asking - the Subject of your post says Office 2004
to Office 97, but the message says Office 2004 to Office 2007. Either way, however, no "conversion" is necessary. Office 97 - 2004 (*all* Mac & Windows versions) use the same file format which 2007 can both read and write to. The main consideration is that if you open a prior version file (.doc) in 2007 and use any features specific to that version to make changes you'll need to save the file as a .docx, but it isn't a matter of just changing the file format - the word "convert" is a little misused & misleading. A new file in .docx format is created, separate from the original .doc and although the process can be automated I'm not sure it's a good idea. The conversion can cause layout & formatting modifications in some files which eventually have to be dealt with on a one-to-one basis anyway. If you just do a wholesale conversion of numerous files you have no way of knowing which ones may be adversely modified until you actually open/print the file... which may be an unpleasant surprise if it occurs late in the game:-) HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac On 12/29/07 8:45 AM, in article , "Uke1" wrote: I need to transfer years of primarily word documents from MACOSX Office 2004 to Vista Office 2007.
