Apple script

Hi,

How to convert the doc file in docx through apple script programming.

Thanx
Anima

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.
