Default Converting .doc to .docx

Hi!




I need to convert multiple .doc files to .docx.


I found this code on

How to batch convert .doc format files to .docx in Word?




Code:
Sub ConvertDocToDocx()
'Updated by ExtendOffice 20181128
    Dim xDlg As FileDialog
    Dim xFolder As Variant
    Dim xFileName As String
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Set xDlg = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
    If xDlg.Show <> -1 Then Exit Sub
    xFolder = xDlg.SelectedItems(1) + "\"
    xFileName = Dir(xFolder & "*.doc", vbNormal)
    While xFileName <> ""
        Documents.Open FileName:=xFolder & xFileName, _
            ConfirmConversions:=False, ReadOnly:=False, AddToRecentFiles:=False, _
            PasswordDocument:="", PasswordTemplate:="", Revert:=False, _
            WritePasswordDocument:="", WritePasswordTemplate:="", Format:= _
            wdOpenFormatAuto, XMLTransform:=""
        ActiveDocument.SaveAs xFolder & Replace(xFileName, "doc", "docx"), wdFormatDocumentDefault
        ActiveDocument.Close
        xFileName = Dir()
    Wend
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub


It does convert .doc files to .docx, but the problem is it does not stop when all .doc files in a folder are converted. Instead, it keeps running and converting .docx to .docxx and .docxx to .docxxx...


I'd like to know why this is happening and what is wrong with the code.
