Hi Laura,
I've not used / encountered DOC in a long time, but perhaps pandoc ( https://pandoc.org/) can handle it? It handles DOCX and a wide variety of other formats reasonably well.
It also might be possible to use LibreOffice or similar in order to bulk process them from the commandline without having to open each file individually.
There's also this answer on StackOverflow which uses only software from Microsoft to do the conversion: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2405508
Good luck!

Hello all,
does anybody know of a programme or other tool to convert .doc format into .docx format? I'm using AntFileConverter to transform my files into .txt format to be able to create a corpora, but AntFileConverter only seems to be working with .docx format.
Thanks! Laura _______________________________________________ Corpora mailing list -- corpora@list.elra.info https://list.elra.info/mailman3/postorius/lists/corpora.list.elra.info/ To unsubscribe send an email to corpora-leave@list.elra.info
