This is a great macro, and has already saved me several hours of work, with the promise to save many more in the future. I think it will also serve as the basis for some additional variations I will write. I'm not good enough at VBA to have written this myself, but I will be able to tweak it a bit to do some other useful things. And for those who use sed, grep, Notepad++ or the Powershell regex equivalents, this macro can be the magic doorway to allow you to use those tools against folders full of Word documents.

Thanks!

Here's a macro to batch convert .doc files. If there are any errors blame it on Cabernet Merlot and report problems here.
