we have 14800+ SAM files that we need to convert to word. I have the
ability to open sam files in word and save them, but there's just to
many and the sam files are in a large folder structure.
Is it possible to write a macro that can open a large set of folders,
open, convert and save each sam file?

or does anyone know of any software that'll do this?

cheers, Matt

There is a Batch Conversion Wizard supplied as part of Word which will do
this. If you did a full install (rather than a default install) of Word, you
should find the Batch Conversion Wizard in the Other Documents tab of the
Templates dialog.

Take a backup first of course.
