Word 2007 macro to save word as .Docx

[mihailovici]

Hi, I have this code that saves my word document .docx with a specific name and also converts it to .doc
Do you guys have any idea how i can modify the code so that it saves with docx extension instead of doc and also to delete the original file ?
Thanks
God Bless!

If you want a pdf, why are you saving with .docx or .doc extensions?

The following line is saving as .doc:

ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:=strDrive & "" & fisword & ".doc", FileFormat:=wdFormatDocument

Still:

Hi again Chas, my mistake in the thread name

My initial file is a docx
When i save it with a new name it becomes doc,
I want to save it with a new name and with docx extension.

The following line is saving as .doc:

ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:=strDrive & "" & fisword & ".doc", FileFormat:=wdFormatDocument

Have you tried .docx instead?

ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:=strDrive & "" & fisword & ".docx", FileFormat:=wdFormatDocument

[mihailovici]

yes, but with no effect :(

Why re-invent the wheel? This app will do what you'd like MultiDoc Converter is a Freeware to convert multiple documents between Word, OpenOffice, PDF and many more (multidoc-converter.com) (https://www.multidoc-converter.com/en/index.html) I'd put the .docx files in one folder and have the converted .doc files placed in a new folder. Once the process is finished delete the folder that contains the .docx files.

Use instead

ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:=strDrive & "" & fisword & ".docx", FileFormat:=wdFormatXMLDocument
FWIW as this thread started by discussing PDF format, note that Word 2007 in its initial release did not include the PDF function. I seem to recall it came with the SP2 update which is still available, later updated to SP3.

Thanks GMayor, I tried replacing the code but with no effect, it exits the word file and keeps the same name. :(
