Do you have a lot of old legacy Microsoft office files and want to convert all legacy files to new Microsoft open XML format? Then check Microsoft Office Migration Planning Manager. For the most part, documents created in Office 2003 and earlier open and behave the same way in the 2007 Office release. However, there might be instances where files require manual intervention or analysis to ensure consistent behavior. For example, a custom solution built in Microsoft Excel 2003 might require modification because it relies on legacy Office features that are no longer supported in Excel 2007.

OMPM includes the following features

The OMPM File Scanner (offscan.exe), a command-line tool that scans files for conversion issues. You can easily deploy this tool using an automated software deployment technology, such as SMS, or a login script. The OMPM File Scanner stores the scan results in XML log files on each computer that it scans. The OMPM File Scanner performs two types of scans:

• A light scan that quickly identifies the Office documents on a user’s computer or network file system.

• A deep scan that you can perform on Office documents to gather document properties that provide indicators of potential conversion issues.

A set of utilities that automate the creation of a new database (SQL Server 2000, SQL Server 2005, or SQL Express) and import the XML log files generated by the OMPM File Scanner.

Microsoft Access 2007–based reporting solution that provides different reports for your analysis and enables you to define file sets for automated processing.

The Office File Converter (OFC) that allows you to convert specific files to the new 2007 Office release file formats in bulk.

The Version Extraction Tool (VET) that allows you to extract saved versions of a file in Word 2003 (or earlier) to different file
