I have many html files in c:\temp\ which need to be converted in the same directory to .docx files.
I have Office 2013. So i guess it doesnt need any converter but instead only opening html in word in the background and saving it as a .docx.
I found a script which is converting doc to pdf:
vbscript to convert word doc to pdf
Const wdExportAllDocument = 0
Const wdExportOptimizeForPrint = 0
Const wdExportDocumentContent = 0
Const wdExportFormatPDF = 17
Const wdExportCreateHeadingBookmarks = 1
if Wscript.Arguments.Count > 0 Then
' Get the running instance of MS Word. If Word is not running, Create it
On Error Resume Next
Set objWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
If Err <> 0 Then
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
End If
On Error GoTo 0
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.GetFile(WScript.Arguments(0))
Set objDoc = objWord.Documents.Open(WScript.Arguments(0),,TRUE)
'Export to PDF using preferred settings
pdf = objWord.ActiveDocument.ExportAsFixedFormat( _
WScript.Arguments(1), _
wdExportFormatPDF, False, wdExportOptimizeForPrint, _
wdExportAllDocument,,, _
wdExportDocumentContent, _
False, True, _
wdExportCreateHeadingBookmarks _
)
'Quit MS Word
objWord.DisplayAlerts = False
objWord.Quit(False)
set objWord = nothing
set objFSO = nothing
Else
msgbox("You must select a file to convert")
End If
Changing the const wdExportFormatPDF to wdFormatDocumentDefault = 16 throws an error.
Any idea how to open and save as all files in the c:\temp directory?
The ExportAsFixedFormat method saves a document as PDF or XPS format..
Read more about it here.
For saving your file as docx
, just use the SaveAs method.
It is available for Office 2013 and later
objWord.ActiveDocument.SaveAs ("C:\SomeDir\yourFileName.docx")
