Apologies if this isn't the right newsgroup for this question...if it's
not, please point me to a better forum for this.
The issue:
Our internal users are using Office 2007. They need to publish Word files
to our public site via our CMS. We've told folks to not post docx files
but instead 'back save' to Office 2003 doc files as a lot of the public
has not upgraded to 2007 or has an office suite that can't yet convert
2007 files.
The problem is that some of our users, instead of using the SAVE AS
feature instead renamed their .docx extensions to .doc.
So, we now have docx files littered throughout our site with .doc
extensions.
Is there anyway to tell these files apart from actual 2003 .doc files?
Windows, once you change the file extension, assumes the file extension is
correct. Short of renaming each and everyone to .zip files to see if they
decompress the docx format, is there anything we can do to find the
improperly named files?

Whether there is a way to distinguish or not is relatively unimportant. All
the 2007 format files will have to be converted to 2003 format.
Write a Word 2007 VBA application that opens (one by one) every Word
document in a directory, and then saves it to another directory in Word 2003
format
.
