Does anyone know if a quick way to convert rtf documents into "doc" without having to open each one and save it again.

Yeah seen there is loads of cloud tools, but I can't upload these documents to the net. Was looking for something that could be done locally.

there seem to be some vba scripts out there for word eg
looks as though it will prompt you for directory and process them all
(what is up with formatting in the new forum s/w)

Can you not just change the file extension? While it doesn't convert it, if you change the .rtf to .doc word should still understand the format.

You could write a PowerShell script to do it for you although that does require some level of programming knowledge. PowerShell is great though for these sort of automation tasks. It is the Windows equivalent of UNIX shells which are also very useful.
