Encoding change

[bdsopt]

Using Word 2002 I need to write a macro in VB 6.3 to have all files open from the A:\ with Western encoding. Currently some files that I try to open brings up the File Conversion Encoding dialog box and I must choose between Windows (default), MS-DOS or UniCode-7.

I found a macro example that can open up a specific file on the A:\.

Documents.Open FileName:="A:\address.doc", _
Format:=wdOpenFormText, Encoding:=msoEncodingWestern

When I try to use A:\*.doc it doesn't work?

Please advise.

Thank you

Probably only handles one file at a time. Try getting a directory of the files *.DOC then looping through each individually.

Can you tell me how I would change my code to handle your situation? I also need to make sure that this new macro is performed at startup of Word.

Thank you
