Here's something I wanted to know whether Directory Opus could do. I have a series of Word doc files I need to convert to text. The old way would be to manually open each DOC file in Word to then convert them to text file extension. But I was wondering if someone knows how to create a script in DOPUS that does the same thing? So this way I select a file with Doc extension, click a DOPUS button that finds all documents with Doc extension, and then batch converts them to Text file extension. Can this be done? Using Dopus 9.56 64bit in Windows 7 64bit edition. Thanks.
Opus doesn't have any specific functionality for converting Word documents into other formats, so you'd have to find or write a script or tool to do it.
Once you have such a script / tool, making it so you can run it from Opus is the easy part.
(One way to do it is using VBScript to automate Word. I've done something similar for Excel, FWIW. I'm less familiar with automating Word.)
I know this isn't automated, and will only work on one file at a time, but how about just copying and pasting from the viewer pane, whereby the DOpus paste defaults to .txt ?? I suppose it depends how many files you have to convert, but it beats opening everything in Word. (Only takes a second or two per file.)
Sorry if that's a dumb suggstion.
