I am trying to convert .doc to .docx.
I followed steps through this link: How to batch convert XLS to XLSX, DOC to DOCX, PPT to PPTX in Power Automate and Azure Logic Apps — Plumsail Documents
The last step was to create a file to store the converted files.
However, this created new file, which is not I needed. This way, i will have to manually unlink and link .docx files.
This wont help me when I have more than 100 pages nor even less, its time consuing.
I want to convert the file to .docx directly by replacing .doc files. That way link wont get broken.
Is there any way to achieve this?
All of your links inside the file, and inside of all other files towards that file, are to YourFileName.doc, right?
And you want to change your file to a .docx, right? Meaning, it has to become YourFileName.docx.
So, no, you will have to "Save As" or Convert. You will have two - a doc, and a docx. They are different file types, with different letters.
Even though from our perspective it's just adding one letter to an extension - an x - a lot of things are actually in happening inside of the file's code during that transition!
A DOC is binary, and a DOCX is actually a zip with a bunch of XML in it.
Thank you @Rhiassuring. Is there a way to just replace the extension without creating a new file, so that the links remain static.
The link is going to break regardless since you will have to change the extension to docx and all the old links will go to doc.
