I found this in Word yesterday. It's a batch conversion wizard. If you want it described more clearly, open Word and do a help search on 'Batch Conversions'.

Goes like this.
Open File New. In the new document task pane, look down to Templates and click on 'On my computer...'
Click on the Other documents tab and then Batch conversions
If it was not on your version of Word it will now install it. Then a Wizard will start.
It will ask you to select a type of file you wish to convert to Word. HTML. text old formats of Word, xml, Outlook and others.
Or it will ask you if you want to convert from Word to other formats.
Choose and click next which will ask from What Folder to What Folder
Then it tells you what documents are available to translate in the selected Folders. Choose the ones you want and go ahead.

I managed this way to translate nearly 100 text files in less than 3 minutes.
Now what I'm really looking for now is a way to apply a batch macro to all of these files.
