    You should be able to just open them in the new word and then when you go to save them it will ask if you want to have them in the old file version or upgrade to the new version. If you want to learn how to do this using code, record a macro of you doing this then look at the code that was created in the Visual Basic Editor.

    numtel means that , in Word go to Tools > Macro > Record a New Macro.
    Do you file save as a different version, then stop the recording. Then in the
    VBE view the code in the Modules section.
    The code is almost the same as if you were going to do it from VB, minus the
    code to start Word and open the document.
