automatic conversion .doc to .odt? (several files)

quarry_06 · 01-31-2006, 06:01 PM

hi
Let's say I have a bunch (several tousands of) MSWORD *.doc files in a folder. For further use, I would like to create copies of these files, but in the opendocument standard *.odt.

now I don't wanna do it for every file, so I was looking for a script that does

doc2odt -o mydocument.odt mydocument.doc

anyone an idea?

Document Converter

Author: Danny Brewer
DocConverter is a utility to convert a batch of documents from any supported OOo format into any other supported OOo format. It could, for example, be used to convert a batch of OOo Writer documents into PDFs. Simple to use, with an interface similar to OOo's AutoPilots.

Doesn't openoffice.org 2.0 have a batch converter under File --> Wizards --> Document Converter? I think it will only do batch conversion from doc to odt (and not from odt to doc) although you can do individual files the other way...
