Microsoft Word document management and conversion

Overview

Microsoft Word provides various functionalities for managing and converting different file formats. Users can automate the conversion of legacy .DOC files to the modern .DOCX format using PowerShell scripts, a process that helps maintain folder structures for data preparation.

Additionally, the software includes built-in features to convert PDF files into editable Word documents. This capability allows users to avoid third-party online conversion tools, potentially mitigating privacy risks. While text-heavy documents convert effectively, files with complex tables, images, or columns may undergo formatting changes during the process.
