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

Hi Laura,

You can use LibreOffice in batch mode to do this.

See for example the section "Converting DOC to DOCX with LibreOffice" here : http://www.cantoni.org/2020/01/15/how-to-convert-word-doc-to-docx-format

You need to know how to use command line (a terminal window) for this.

Best, Serge

If you're on Linux, you can use /uniconv /(also for batch conversions). See e.g. for Ubuntu-based distros: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62251410/convert-old-doc-format-to-the-n...

Good luck! Yannis
