blehman12 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I am trying to write a script that will remove the password from some 6K files Microsoft Word docx files. The same password on each file, so that is no problem. I can open the file and save it as a new file and it all works great. The problem is that The _WordDocSave does not want to save as a docx - I can do .doc .xml and other types but I cannot figure out how to do .docx. Any help is appreciated. The sample script below will demonstrate the problem. ; ******************************************************* ; Example 1 - Open an existing word document, append some text, ; save and quit. ; ******************************************************* ; #include <Word.au3> Local $oWordApp = _WordCreate(@ScriptDir & "\aTest.docx") Local $oDoc = _WordDocGetCollection($oWordApp, 0) $oDoc.Range.insertAfter("This is some text to insert.") _WordDocSave($oDoc) _WordQuit($oWordApp) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blehman12 Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 I might have just answered my own question - it looks like there is an undocumented type 12 that will save as a docx. Have more testing to do but it looks like this., ; ******************************************************* ; Example 1 - Open an existing word document, append some text, ; save and quit. ; ******************************************************* ; #include <Word.au3> Local $oWordApp = _WordCreate() Local $oDoc = _WordDocGetCollection($oWordApp, 0) $oDoc.Range.Text = "This is some text to insert." _WordDocSaveAs($oDoc, @ScriptDir & "aTest.docx", 12) _WordQuit($oWordApp) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
water Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I don't know if the Word UDF works with docx. I didn't find anything when searching the forum. But you can always do it yourself: $word.ActiveDocument.SaveAs("C:testtest.docx" ) $word.Application.Quit My UDFs and Tutorials: Spoiler UDFs:Active Directory (NEW 2022-02-19 - Version 1.6.1.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiExcelChart (2017-07-21 - Version 0.4.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Example ScriptsOutlookEX (2021-11-16 - Version 1.7.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiOutlookEX_GUI (2021-04-13 - Version 1.4.0.0) - DownloadOutlook Tools (2019-07-22 - Version 0.6.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - WikiPowerPoint (2021-08-31 - Version 1.5.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiTask Scheduler (NEW 2022-07-28 - Version 1.6.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Wiki Standard UDFs:Excel - Example Scripts - WikiWord - Wiki Tutorials:ADO - WikiWebDriver - Wiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
