Default Bulk convert doc to docx AND preserve last modified date stamp

Hi, macropod.
Sorry if I hurt forumquette... that were not my intention...

After post here yesterday, I stumbled with http://www.rbrussell.com/2013/01/23/...office-format/ and did that;

The MS converter functioned like a breeze and preserved the creation, impression and last modified date (both on info tab inside Word as on Windows Explorer); Graham's converter modified creation and last modified date, preserving only last impression date.
And you are right: the android issue is with file format (docx vs doc), not compatibility mode (but it opens faster docx without compatibility mode).

So, problem solved in another way, less clean, because I had to do after a cmd Robocopy to place old docs in a safe place and a forfiles /s /m *.doc /c "cmd /c del @file" to remove the old docs.

It would have been much easier if the Graham utility keep the date, only for this reason I posted in that thread...

Thanks,
