Hi Salvatore,

 

Thanks to your link I was able to find a free app that works perfect. The conversion creates a full .docx file that requires no convert option and also delete the source .doc files.

 

Its a full version to test for 30 days. A pop comes up ever few minutes to stop scripting but it's fine for my use as I only need to convert a bunch of .doc's.

I'm marking your reply as the best response as I found this on the same Google search page as your sugestion.

 

Many thanks,

 

Vinny

    That will probably do what you're looking to do, however when I went to the developer's site, they said it's $49.99. Seems a little expensive just to convert from .doc to .docx format, but if that's what you want, go for it. I'm going to look for another (hopefully free) solution for my conversion needs...
