This is addressed to any Word for Windows Macro experts in the net

I have the boring task of converting all the .RFT files on a floppy to 
MAC Word format. (some of our staff are moving from system/36 to MACs)
so I have attempted to write a macro to automate this.

The only problem is the FileOpen command
when I get it to open the next file on the list correctly it insists
on bringing up a dialogue box in which I have to reply OK to confirm that
I want the file converted from .RFT format.

I tried SendKeys and OK after the FileOpen statement but they had no effect.

I am on WfW 1.1 but I presume my Technical Reference is for 1.0 (typical
publishers insisted it was the latest version here in the UK in the last month)

ANY ideas?
