How to create a macro on a Mac that opens and does a SavesAs on all files in a folder?

Anonymous

I have several hundred Word files that need to be opened, saved in .odt format, then re-opened and saved in .docx (This eliminates an error message I get every time I open the files). I have very limited experience coding in VBA, so I am not sure how to structure the macro. I would be grateful for your help in automating this process through the use of a macro.

Thank you.

You can turn off alerts by using
```
  Application.DisplayAlerts = wdAlertsNone 
```
You should later use
```
 Application.DisplayAlerts = wdAlertsAll 
```
to turn them back on.
