Bulk converting docx to odt?

#1

I've searched for a method to do this but can't find anything.
Is there something I've missed?

If you don't mind losing some elements/styles, I think you can try
upload them to Google Docs and export as "Open Document" format.

Best wishes,

If the item is not available you have to install and enable the Java language. Tools>Options>Java.

Looks like that only converts .doc and not .docx....

Look up command line parameters for OOo/LibO on the internet, you should
be able to launch a conversion from the command line.

Perhaps this is what you're looking for:
http://odf-converter.sourceforge.net/
Note: I've not tried it (yet).

You might try www.zamzar.com.

Sorry, forgot the link to the command line utility:

Just this week I used zamzar to convert my sons docx homework to doc so
I could open it in LO.

Didn't work. Created .docs that had broken formatting in LO. Had to go
and find someone with office10 to save as .doc then it was ok.
Interesting thing is that the .docs that zamzar created and were screwed
in LO opened fine in office10.
