Need Utility to read/convert older Word docs

If the .doc files are from Word for DOS then I found a solution. The following web site lets me convert these .doc files to .docx.

You can have a choice of:

1. Select and drop the .doc files one at a time. After conversion download the .docx file.
2. Select a directory and select all the .doc files in it. After conversion download a zip file with all the .docx files in it.

downloading word/odt files as pdfs

Hi mhpnow

Downloading document should not change the file format, those should come down in the same file format as they were uploaded by the creator of those documents

What web browser are you using to download those documents?

On the web page, is it reported those documents are in odt and doc, if so,right click one of those downloaded files and choose Properties, on the resulting dialog, at the top, what is reported as the Type of file, is that .pdf, .doc or .odt?

Do you have Word installed on your PC, if so, open Word, then choose File - Open and try to open one of those downloaded PDF files, does it open successfully in Word, and if not, what is the exact error you are getting?
