Batch convert to docx

Post by Duffy6 »

Hi!

we have several hundreds of old Textmaker files (from the late 1990s) and have to convert them to RTF or Docx.

We have Softmaker 2021 for Windows AND Linux.

How can this be done?

Thx and regards

This can be done using BasicMaker for which you will have to make scripts. BasicMaker works in Windows only. Please check BasicMaker manual for more details. This is similar to VBA.

Unfortunately I am a VBA rookie.

Is there anyone who already did something similiar?

Yes, there is.
You will find a BasicMaker script for this task here.
It was written for SMO 2018, but I see no reason why it shouldn't work with SMO 2021, too.
