Status: offline 		Is it possible to convert a WordPerfect document to a Word Document?

I have a bunch of old wordperfect files that need to be converted to word, and I was hoping that there would be a script that could handle that. so any help would be greatly appreciated

a quick pseudocode:

open Word application,

for each file in folder
open in word
save as Word document with same name
close word document
next

cleanup

Status: offline 		If you still have the word perfect document as .doc file and just want them in a word format the folwoing shoud do the trick, just pass the sub full path and file name.Change objWord.Visible to false if you dont want to see word.

Sub OpenDoc1(strLocation)

Const wdFormatDocument = 0
Const wdFormatTemplate = 0
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
set objNewDoc = objWord.Documents.Add(strLocation,false)
objWord.Visible = true
objNewDoc.SaveAs strLocation, wdFormatDocument
Set objFile = Nothing
Set objFso = Nothing
objWord.Quit
End Sub

Status: offline 		I would like to thank everyone that helped me out on this!! it works great!!! here is the finished script for anybody that wants to know. This script will go through all files and sub directories and save all the files in Word format no matter what the current format is.

'on error resume next
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Const ForReading = 1
strFolderName = "C:\wordperfect_files"

Set colSubfolders = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Associators of {Win32_Directory.Name='" & strFolderName & "'} " _
& "Where AssocClass = Win32_Subdirectory " _
& "ResultRole = PartComponent")

Wscript.Echo strFolderName

arrFolderPath = Split(strFolderName, "\")
strNewPath = ""
For i = 1 to Ubound(arrFolderPath)
strNewPath = strNewPath & "\\" & arrFolderPath(i)
Next
strPath = strNewPath & "\\"

Set colFiles = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from CIM_DataFile where Path = '" & strPath & "'")

For Each objFile in colFiles

Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
set objNewDoc = objWord.Documents.Add(objfile.name,false)
objWord.Visible = false
objNewDoc.SaveAs objfile.name
Set objFile = Nothing
Set objFso = Nothing
objWord.Quit

Next


For Each objFolder in colSubfolders
GetSubFolders strFolderName
Next

Sub GetSubFolders(strFolderName)
Set colSubfolders2 = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Associators of {Win32_Directory.Name='" & strFolderName & "'} " _
& "Where AssocClass = Win32_Subdirectory " _
& "ResultRole = PartComponent")

For Each objFolder2 in colSubfolders2
strFolderName = objFolder2.Name
Wscript.Echo
Wscript.Echo objFolder2.Name
arrFolderPath = Split(strFolderName, "\")
strNewPath = ""
For i = 1 to Ubound(arrFolderPath)
strNewPath = strNewPath & "\\" & arrFolderPath(i)
Next
strPath = strNewPath & "\\"

Set colFiles = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from CIM_DataFile where Path = '" & strPath & "'")

For Each objFile in colFiles

Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
set objNewDoc = objWord.Documents.Add(objfile.name,false)
objWord.Visible = false
objNewDoc.SaveAs objfile.name
Set objFile = Nothing
Set objFso = Nothing
objWord.Quit

Next

GetSubFolders strFolderName
Next
End Sub
