Found no applicable app on that page, so I went to tab Word Pages and found an Add-in for batch-converting Word 97 docs to .docx. Unfortunately, the resulting docx was the same as I got by opening directly with Word 2010.

Now, the files I needed are not all that important, so I will just delete them; I have hard copies that seem to be the same as the rogue files, so I will scan.

Thanks for your help.
