For batch conversion from Office Binary formats to OOXML formats, Microsoft provides batch converters.
The original ones, released on conjunction with Office 2007 are described here: <http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=21888>. The latest ones, released in conjunction with Office 2010 are described here: <http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=11454>. It is also useful, as part of that kind of migration, to have the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack installed on Office XP and 2003 configurations. The bulk upgrader apparently relies on it being installed as well (the compatibility pack allows OOXML files to go both ways in and out of older Office versions). See <http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=3>. I haven't used the batch converters but assume that the resulting OOXML files are in "Compatibility Mode", so that down-level features are preserved and can be round-tripped back to a version that produced the binary versions. - Dennis E.

It is a very bad idea to use this software as a converter from one poorly supported foreign file format into another poorly supported foreign file format. Whatever the reason for this conversion may be, there is no reason not to use MS Office for this task. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
