converting Word 2002 files to Word 2007 files
I have hundreds of 2002 Word files. Is there a simple way I can convert all
these files to Word 2007 without opening each file separately? |

converting Word 2002 files to Word 2007 files
You don't *have* to convert them, you know.

converting Word 2002 files to Word 2007 files
JoAnn,
Thank you for your response. The reason I asked the question is that I bought Word 2007 because, and I am not sure where this came from, but I received a message online to the effect that Word 2002 files or its software were no longer going to be supported (by whom I don't know), but I do know that in the past month or so my computer began routinely to shut down Word 2002 files in which I was working sending me a message that Word 2002 software might cause some kind of serious damage to my computer. I decided to upgrade to Word 2007, althought it has more bells and whistles than I need for the kind of writing I do, because I had concluded that Word 2002 was going to cause me problems which I didn't need nor know how to fix. Sorry for the long-winded reply.

converting Word 2002 files to Word 2007 files
It might have been better if you had discussed your problem before buying a
new version of Word. You appear to have two problems. 1. Concerned the message, which unless you can give the exact wording and the dialog title text, is somewhat difficult to pin down but assuming you have a legal copy of Word 2002 and not some dubiously sourced pirate copy, I am tempted to agree with Gordon's diagnosis. This sounds like advertising malware. You need to check your system for spyware. 2. The crashes. In this case you probably have some minor corruption - see http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm then http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...artingWord.htm. Word 2007 should be able to open your Word 2002 files without problem. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Dyer wrote: JoAnn, Thank you for your response.
