Default Saving Word Doc as Text with Line Breaks

Hello - I am using a batch document converter to convert multiple Word docs
to text files. This part works great. The problem is that I need the line
breaks to be converted to paragraph marks in the final output file. The
converter software I'm using uses the MS Word "Save As" functionality to
accomplish the conversion, and so supposedly also uses the 'insert line
break' functionality as well. The problem is that I'm not getting the line
break conversion to work through the batch process. My question is, outside
of the batch converter, are there reasons why the "insert line break"
functionality would not work in MS Word?

Thanks!

Try the MS-DOS Text with Layout converter for Word filter which you can
download from my web site.
