Convert doc to docx

Hi

When opening a doc file on c:\ and then choose convert word converts the
file to docx nicely,
but if a open a doc file on a fileshare and then choose convert - you get
the option to save as!

Why? Workaround?

Hi
Could anyone confirm or deny the fact that when you convert a doc file to
docx on a share it only gives you the option to save as, but when you do it
on c:\ it convert without any questions

looks to me like on a local drive the Original DOC is replaced by the
DOCX file, while on a remote or network drive, the original is left
intact. I suspect that it is a "desired" behavior for files that would
be shared (accessed by many) vice a local file that is only going to be
used by the owner.
