I would like to convert lots of Microsoft Word files (like over 3,000)
to text format. I really don't feel like going "open, save as, text
only, ok, close" 3,000 times. Are there any programs out there that
will do this sort of thing automatically? If not, does anyone have
information on the Word 4.0 (and 3.0 -- half the files are in one
format and half are in another) file format so I could try to write
one myself? Thanks.
