Document.SaveAs - Word 2000/2002/2003 -> DOCX?

[David Thielen]

Hi;

If the MS AddOn to let the older versions of Word read/write a DOCX
file, how can I programatically do a SaveAs to that format?

thanks - dave

Sure we just need a FileFormat number to pass in the SaveAs function.

Because the saving OpenXML document function is added by the AddOn, so in
previous Office object model, the SaveFormat number we want are not listed
in the constants. But we can get the FileFormat by iterating the
Application.FileConverters.

Here is an blog article describe how to do that,

If you have any further questions or concerns on this, just let me know and
I will follow up.
