[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 886139, member: 176256"] Why not revert to DOS commands? Open a CMD or Comand Prompt box (or whatever they're calling it nowadays) and navigate to the relevant directory (folder) using the CD command and remembering to use backslashes instead of forward slashes. Once you're in the right directory use ren *. *.doc and all will have a .doc extension. Probably best to take a copy onto an empty pen drive. That'll make navigating easier as well. [/QUOTE]
