(Pro version only)

This filter takes ALL incoming documents, opens them with Microsoft Word, and outputs them as text files. This can be used to process a set of Word Documents to text file format. After this filter you can add search and replace filters or any other filters you choose.

Normally you set the Output filter's Change Extension to '.TXT' to prevent the original documents being overwritten.

This filter requires Microsoft Word 98 or higher to be installed. If you wish to convert documents other than the default .DOC files, you may also need to install Word's conversion filters.

Unless you know that all documents being processed are Word documents (e.g. by using a wildcard of *.doc in the Files to Process tab), you should restrict this filter to only files of a certain extension.
