Batch convert 1990's era Word documents

[chloe something]

I have a large amount of very old Word docs (word 1.x - 5.x) on my computer.
I upgraded to Office 08, and it is a PAIN to open them. I am looking for a
way to convert them to .doc ('97-2004 compatible) using either a third-party
batch converter or if there is something, something internal to Word.

Any ideas?
