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.

I have written the following code ;

set mydoc to "/Users/hcl/Desktop/Sample.doc"
tell application "Microsoft Word"
activate
open mydoc
save as active document file format format document file name "Sample_new.docx"
close active document
end tell

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