I have a bunch of old WordPerfect 5.1 files that have no
file extenstions. I cannot use the Word Batch converter
until I give them file extensions. Can anyone tell me how
to batch them from my Windows Explorer?
Thanks!

Hi

In a command prompt, you can do like this (assuming the current directory is
where the files are) to rename all files with no extension to have the
extension wpd:

ren *. *.wpd


If you want to do it with a GUI, there are a lot of freeware available that can
do this:

1-4a Rename (from the screen shoots it looks like this ones can take subdirs as

well):
http://www.1-4a.com/rename/


You will find a lot of utils for this here as well:
