Converting xlsx to xls using Microsoft Office Compitablity Pack s excelcnv

0 votes
The internet says that you can convert xlsx files to xls files using Microsoft Office Compitablity like this:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\excelcnv" -nme -oice D:\test\new.xlsx D:\test\old.xls
However, this works backwards - it converts xls files to xlsx files. Does anyone know the excelcnv switches to convert xlsx to xls?

Simply rearranging the positions of the parameters in the example you quote works for me when using the compatibility (conversion) pack for Office 2003; for example, if this also works for Office14 (which I expect and hope it does), modify the command to:

"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice14excelcnv" -nme -oice "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOfficeOffice14excelcnv" -nme -oice "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice14 D:\test\old.xls D:\test\new.xlsx
In my situation, the command that gets it to function is this:

-oice "C:scriptstes" -oice "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficeOffice12excelcnv.exe"
