Macro in Word 2007 to make changes and save with another extension

jotentin · #1 06-25-2021, 11:58 AM

Hello.

I have many .doc files and I need to make some changes and save them as .docx.

Always the changes to be made are the same and the name when it is saved must be the one of the active document but with the new extension (docx).

In order to do it, I have created a macro with the macro recorder but although the changes are made correctly, the file is always saved with the name of the file used when I saved the macro (Document1).

The generated code is as follows:

.......... (rest of the code)

ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName: = _
"Document1.docx", FileFormat: = _
wdFormatDocumentDefault, LockComments: = False, Password: = "", AddToRecentFiles _
: = True, WritePassword: = "", ReadOnlyRecommended: = False, EmbedTrueTypeFonts _
: = False, SaveNativePictureFormat: = False, SaveFormsData: = False, _
SaveAsAOCELetter: = False

Could you please tell me the changes that I must make in the above code in order to save it correctly?

Thanks.

If you don't want to retain the original doc file then

Code:

ActiveDocument.Convert
ActiveDocument.Save

If you want to keep the doc file

Code:

Dim oDoc As Document
Dim sName As String
    Set oDoc = ActiveDocument
    sName = ActiveDocument.FullName
    If oDoc.HasVBProject = True Then
        sName = Left(sName, InStrRev(sName, Chr(46))) & "docm"
        oDoc.SaveAs FileName:=sName, _
                    FileFormat:=wdFormatXMLDocumentMacroEnabled
    Else
        sName = Left(sName, InStrRev(sName, Chr(46))) & "docx"
        oDoc.SaveAs FileName:=sName, _
                    FileFormat:=wdFormatXMLDocument
    End If
    Set oDoc = Nothing
