I am using the code supplied at https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-vba/20699-word-2003-word-2010-conversion.html



I am currently try to use this macro, however, I am getting an error Message

"Run-time error '438': object doesn't support this property or method"

could some advise

Your are right wdDoc.close should not have been highlighted.

and yes I am converting from 2007 - I assumed that the docx is for both 2007 and 2010? or have I made an a** out of me?

The SaveAs2 method was only introduced with Word 2010, which is what the code was originally written for. Hence, you can't use that with Word 2007. Since the code doesn't actually use anything new from Word 2010, though, you should be able to change SaveAs2 to SaveAs.

after I removed a silly overlooked "2" from SaveAs2" the program worked ace.

however, it would appear that word docs (".doc") or templates (".dot") with macros seems to me sticking and failing to be converted. Is there a difference in word 2003 documents/templates with macros in them to convert/ save as a word 2010 Document/ Template.

Any advice?

Macro-enabled files in Word 2007 & later require saving in the docm & dotm formats, not docx & docm. So you'd need to change both the extension and the FileFormat to match, using wdFormatXMLDocumentMacroEnabled for documents and wdFormatXMLTemplateMacroEnabled for templates. Ordinary templates, btw, should be saved using wdFormatXMLTemplate.

@Macropod, thanks - its been so long since I last did this type of macro programming - its a slow progression to remembering everything.
