- REM This is an example of how to use a batch file to easily
- REM convert many Word Pro files from WP96 to WP97 format.
- REM This batch file takes one parameter, a directory, and
- REM converts all the Word Pro files (*.MWP, *.LWP) in that
- REM directory. It will overwrite the existing files, so you
- REM may want to backup those files first.
- REM
- REM One could change the Word Pro options in the FOR statements
- REM below to resave in WP96 format, or to specify a different
- REM directory and file to save to, instead of overwriting the
- REM existing file. See the file convert.txt for details.
