Can you do this in VB

[AmmerBow]

Word will convert a word perfect file when you open it and save it as a new word file.

Could you make a vb app that would take a list of seleted files and auto convert them using word's APIs or something like that??

I havent tried this myself, so if it doesnt work I'm sorry

First record a macro in word when you convert 1 file from word perfect.

then

Sub temp()

Dim appWord As Word.Application

Set appWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")

With appWord
.Visible = True
.Documents.Open FileName:="a.b"


' put other code in here
' each line of code from the recorded macro will need a . in front of it



.Quit
End With

Set appWord = Nothing

End Sub


(Fingers crossed it should work)
