Hi, I am building a tool for our team. One of it's features should be the ability to change a docx file to doc, but so far I could not really figure out how to convert the file. I am using report generation toolkit for a few other features. I am not a pro in visual basic for aplications, but I made a macro that I insert and than remove with labview for an other purpose. So far I was not able to make a proper macro that saves the files as a doc withouth changing anything. Can someone recommend a solutiuon for this problem? Either a visual basic macro or a labview solution is fine or some guidence on how to solve it on my own. Much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Oops, I made a silly mistake by talking about Excel. You were discussing Word, not Excel, while I was "thinking" Excel yet saying ".doc" and ".docx". However, I think the same principle should apply. I gather you have not tried my suggestion of a "three-step process", nor my suggestion of posting a ".docx" sample for us to try, so I'm going to go through the steps, again, with explanation. You don't have to try this -- you can just say "Thanks for trying to help, but I'm not going to listen to you". I'll be disappointed, but not insulted ...Let's say your document is called "My Doc.docx".Do a "New Report", specifying "Word", with "My Doc.docx" as the "Template". Note that this is not the same thing that Word means as a Word Template (a .dot or .dotx file) -- this is a LabVIEW term.Do a "Save Report to File", specifying the name "My Doc.doc" (not .docx). You'll need the full File Path, of course.Dispose Report and end the program.Try this. If it doesn't work or does something unexpected, report back (and provide a sample .docx file!). Or say "Sorry, I don't want to try your suggestion, but thanks for trying to help" and I'll stop trying to help you. Bob Schor
