Office 2003 to Office 2007 file converter

[Kenneth.williams]

Sorry if this is a duplicate post, but is there a ".bat" file or a script
file that I can get a copy of that will convert all previous office file
formats (Office 97-Office 2003) to the Office 2007 file format.

The only way I know to do that today is to open each one, one at a time, and
do a "file->save as"

Thanks

Wasn't real clear on need - I have over 6000 files on several network drives
I need to convert - I would like the .bat file or script to run over the
weekend - or something like that ...

File> Save As wont do it
Generally you open the old data file in Outlook 2003 or 2007, then create a
new data file in default format then copy data from old to new
(the old format is 97 - 2002, I assume you made a typo)

Whether there are third party tools?

Old Format is 97-2003
New format is 2007

I am currently opening Old File Format with Word, Powerpoint, Exce 2007, and
then clicking on the Office button, and saving in the new format.

But to do all 6000+ file will take a high number of man-hours.

So yes, I was asking if anyones have a tool to assist with the conversion.

There isnt an old format 97 - 2003
Old format is 97 - 2002, ansi
Outlook 2003 & 2007 uses the same unicode format, by default
