    Folders: converting Word Doc format files to Word 97-2003 format


    Hi All,

    I have a question related to one I posed earlier tonight - and which may solve the problem.

    I have several folders which contain thousands of documents which I converted from WordPerfect to Word Document format. How would I change each of the thousands of files in the folders from Word Document format to Word 97-2003 format in one fell swoop? Right now it seems like I can do them only one at a time by going into each document, and changing the file format under "Export" in the "File" drop-down menu. Of course, doing them one by one is not feasible. When I select all there is no export or change format option...

    I would appreciate any help. Thanks!

    :)

  2. Docx.

    Office 2007 files are not compatible with your device. You'll need to save your Office 2007 files, like Word & Excel files, as Office 2003 files (doc & xls) if you want to open them on your hx2410. You can do this when you save the files. Instead of
    selecting Save, you'll select Save As and then select Word 97-2003 (if you are saving a Word document).

    You can also set an option inf Office 2007 to save all your files automatically in 97-2003 format as follows:

    On your computer, open up Word 2007, select the large icon at the top left hand side of screen and then select Word Options.

    Select Save and then select the down arrow to the far right of "Save Files in this Format" and choose Word 97-2003.

  3. Opening a pws file on my desktop

    Hello. You are running Windows Mobile 2003 SE. Do you have the option on the AXIM Pocket Word program "Save as Word 97/2000 document"? The .pws is for Pocket Word. The 97/2000 should save in .doc format and open on your desktop.
