Office document conversion
In 2007 Microsoft introduced a new document format. In Word it is .docx format, in Excel .xlsx. Unfortunately, with the change in technology, the document templates have remained unchanged – they are still in .doc or .xls format (without the x suffix).
In addition, Hatiroo® can automatically complete data for new document format, such as contractor data or other contract details. This allows you to significantly speed up document workflow processes and avoid errors.
Document conversion – step by step
Open document
Download the document and save it somewhere on your disk. Open it in an Office application, such as Word. Note that at the very top, in the middle, it is written “Compatibility Mode”. This means that the document is in an older format and requires conversion.
Convert
Select File, then on the left select Info. The system will suggest that the document needs to be converted. Click Convert. If you don’t see the yellow convert tile, just skip this step.
Save in new format
In the File tab, select Save As. Then specify where to save the document, for example, My Computer. The system will suggest a new format for the document. In Word, choose .docx, in Excel, choose .xlsx, and in PowerPoint, choose .pptx.
An effect
You receive a second file in the new format. Now upload the new document to Hatiroo® and delete the old one.
