Any particular reason you want to do this? doc files should open fine in Word 2010/2011.

I want to open the doc file and save as docx file.

But why?

Regardless, take a look here. There's a section on opening files and saving them in different formats.

But it not converting the doc to docx without compatibility. I want to save as the doc file into docx. Please help.
