How to I batch convert hundreds of excel 2007 files to Excel 2010 with preview icon selected?

I want to convert thousands of excel files to show the preview icon. How can I open and save thousands oe Excel 2003 & 2007 files to Execl 2010 with the preview icon box selected?

I have found many others with same unanswered questions. All I can find is hundreds and hundreds of hits about converting Excel files to PDF's and do not want to do that. Being able to do the same with other office documents such as word would be nice.

Please MS give us a utility :)

To convert from 2003 to 2010, you could run a macro, below. Record a macro where you save the preview and then modify the SaveAs code as appropriate - I don't have 2010 on this machine so I cannot do that for you.

Change the path to where you have the files stored. With Excel 2007/2010 you have a few options as to file type - I'm showing how to save files that may have macros or other code. To get the 2007 files to have a preview, change the code to remove the "If Right. " conditional.

Dim myPath As String

myPath = "C:\Excel\"
WorkFile = Dir(myPath & "*.xls")

Do While WorkFile <> ""
If Right(WorkFile, 4) <> "xlsm" Then
Workbooks.Open FileName:=myPath & WorkFile
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:= _
myPath & WorkFile & "m", FileFormat:= _
xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled, CreateBackup:=False
ActiveWorkbook.Close
End If
WorkFile = Dir()
Loop
End Sub

There is no easy utility that will do what you want. Bernie's approach creates "macro enabled" workbooks where none may have previously existed!

Excel 2007 introduced several different workbook types, among them XLSX for workbooks without VBA code in them and XLSM for workbooks with VBA code in them, whereas previously all files were XLS.

One way to convert thousands of files would be to presume all of them are macro capable and use Bernie's code.

Another approach would be to have the code examine each XLS workbook to decide whether to save it as XLSX or XLSM.

A third approach would be to convert the files gradually as and when it becomes necessary to convert the file. I opted for this approach. Several years after I started using Excel 2007, I still have files in the XLS format. Nothing wrong with that. If I don't need to open / convert a workbook to the new format, there's no reason for me to do so. Is there?

Thank you for the addition.

The main reason I wanted to convert the 2,000+ excel files is I am using the thumbnail image to identify duplicate and corrupt files. I just finished removing more than 250,000 duplicate and corrupt pictures using the thumbnail. On the corrupt pictures the thumbnail does not preview.

The problem occurred when I had two disks go bad, then restored the files using several utilities, leaving me with a big mess. There are so many files, even using the side pane preview is way too slow because it takes 3-5 seconds to load large files and 5-10 seconds to tell you it cannot load because file is corrupt. After I clean up the Excel files I then have to cleanup 3,000+ Word documents. The 5,000+ PDF document cleanup was easy with Adobe thumbnail previews.

Now if there were a utility/s

1- Identify corrupt MS Office Documents

2- Find and visually compare duplicate documents.

3- Repair the corrupt files.

I am removing the duplicates using "doublekiller.exe". It does a great job but sometimes does not see that one file copy is corrupt and one is not. Thus the first step I do is identify and remove the corrupt files.

I do believe Microsoft could have built a "turn on preview" in the file properties. Then I could select a few hundred files, right click properties, select "Save/Show Thumbnail". I manage software development projects and feel that Microsoft could greatly improve Windows file & content management with relatively minor modifications in management file properties/metadata. Most of it is already there, just needs to be turned on and better organized.

Where should I have started looking for this macro answer? Is there a site of MS office file utilities?
