Convert Word 6.0 to Word 2003 programatically

Question

With the latest security update from MS Security

Existing word templates documents could not be loaded and they started throwing exceptions each time we load. We would like to convert the existing Word 6.0 to Word 2003 programmatically or by using a tool.

How do we convert using .NET? Or any existing MS Tool Thanks for the help

Answer 1

I'd start with here on how to programmatically hit Word's object model. Once you get that down, it should be a simple matter of writing a program to get Word to open a file and then perform a "Save As" for every file you have.

Answer 2

your other option is to use OpenOffice in a scripted way.
