Utility for converting multiple office files to 2007 format

Is there such a thing as a utility that converts multiple 2003 office files
(Word, PowerPoint & Excel) documents to 2007 format at once? It is a pain to
go through all my 2003 documents and convert them one at a time. Thank you
for your help

Hi X,

Microsoft has the Office Migration Planning Manager (OMPM) toolset that includes doing a bulk conversion tool for older Office
files. It is generally targeted to doing corporate upgrades.
Search on OMPM at the Office Resource Kit (ORK) site, http://microsoft.com/office/ork

It's not clear from your description the reason for converting the older files in bulk rather than as you use them (Office 2007 apps
support opening and saving in both classic and new file formats).

I don't know of any mass conversion tool.

Why do you need to go through and convert them? You can just convert
them as you use them, and the ones you don't convert by the next
release of Office will still be supported.

Sorry.
