[Corpora-List] Tools for batch conversion Word to UTF-8.

[Hardie, Andrew]

Hi Josep,

The script itself is not particular to any version of Word (I tested it in Word2007 FWIW). The important question is whether the *version of Word you are using* is compatible with all your different docs. But fortunately, if you have an up-to-date version of Word, it will happily open docs created by that version or by any earlier versions.

HOWEVER, if you have both "doc" and "docx" formats, you will need to modify the string in the macro that specifies what files you want (e.g. to "*.doc*") to catch both forms of the file extension.

best

Andrew.

Thanks to everybody that responded. We will certainly try all the options since none of the tools we had tried so far did an acceptable job.

Adam: if you can send me the script, I'd really appreciate it. We've checked the documentation for PyUNO and it is not all that clear so your scripts might give us a good headstart.

Andrew: your macro works with all versions of Word? We have documents created with different Word versions.
