Converting DOC Files to DOCX

1. Open a Doc-To-Help project that contains at least one document with a DOC extension.
2. Select File > Doc-To-Help.
3. In the Doc-To-Help menu in Word, click the Common Tasks submenu option under the Project section.
4. Click the Convert Doc to DocX button. You will see a prompt to start the operation; click the appropriate button to begin the conversion. The prompt message depends on whether a project is shared or not. For shared (team) projects, you need to check out the project.

After a successful conversion, all documents in the project will be DOCX, and all links in all Word documents will be updated appropriately.

Note If any error occurs while converting documents, Doc-To-Help attempts to restore everything (documents and the project) to the initial state (before starting the conversion).
