WordConvs

WordConvs is flexible system for text conversion and formatting. It use the text converters included in Microsoft Word 7.0 or higher to convert files written by other word processors. Moreover the program lets you change the document setting (like page with, page height, margins, that is nearly all the parameters used by MsWord). So users can standardize in one run a batch of documents written with different parameters. WordConvs use the Microsoft Word converters? to convert from and to the available input and output formats. It allows also the use of an external converter program if you have one and you prefer to use it. This option can be useful if the conversion program don't has batch capability or don't allow to scan subdirectories or/and to process hidden files and folders, as WordConvs has these capabilities. It can be useful also if there is not an included mechanism to test the completeness of the conversion, as some converters in case of errors in input file truncate the conversion without any kind of indication of the fact. In case of processing of a large number of file this can be dangerous as you believe that the results are good while you can have as result some truncated document (only partially converted). To test, also if not in a secure way, this case, a program has been inserted which count the words, lines, and characters of the input document. As MsWord has internally the possibility to count them in the output document, it is possible to compare these counters. Naturally the input file counters are only a row approximation as only managing the formatting of the input document it is possible to have a good count.
