আমি একটি enorm-পরায়ণ বাছা করে দেখুন হয়-ing চলেছি (100+GB) or teaching resources that I’ve built-up over the years. After the obvious steps (খালি মুছে ফেলা-ing, temp এবং duplic সমস্যা মেটানো সম্ভব ফাইল) এবং বড় ফাইল সাজানোর-ing (e.g. ভিডিও, Ranking!-A-tion ইনস্টলারের) I was left with a large number of office documents. I am slowly working through these, কিন্তু তাদের অনেক 2003 অথবা এমনকি পুরোনো বিন্যাস নথি - শব্দ হিসাবে কিছু হিসাবে পুরানো 6! Every time I open one of these files I am prompted with various security warnings. Whist these can be turned off (নিচে দেখুন) এটা তাদের উপর ছেড়ে আরো নিরাপদ, এবং আমি অফিস থেকে সব ফাইল রূপান্তর করতে চেয়েছিলেন 2007 (docx, XLSX ইত্যাদি) formats. Batch conversion was definitely the way to go.
There are several advantages to conversion beyond the problems with security warnings. Documents saved in the newer formats are significantly smaller, এবং তারা খোলা ফরম্যাটের উপর ভিত্তি করে, are much more compatible, e.g. with google docs and open office. This may prove very advantageous in the future. I discovered that the size reduction alone makes going to the trouble worthwhile — first 220 word documents i converted were reduced from 63Mb to 25Mb. You may think saving 175k per file isn’t worthwhile, কিন্তু আপনি আছে যদি 110,000 ফাইল (আমি করেনি) you will save around 18Gb — a big saving if you’re using a a ইউএসবি Thumbdrive, older external HDD অথবা এসএসডি systemdrive.
Microsoft offer a utility called OFC to batch convert office documents so this seemed the obvious way to proceed. OFC is part of the Microsoft Office Migration Planning Manager. To utilise it fully you will also need to download the অফিস 2007 Compatibility Pack, which includes lots of file-format converters. Install the compatibility pack first, then run the installer for the migration planning manager. You will be prompted to pick a location to extract to — I’d put it in your documents or downloads folder as it makes file editing easier.
To run the converter you simply open the extracted path, open the tools directory and run ofc.exe. However, You wont achieve much this way as OFC doesn’t have a গ্রাফিক্যাল ইউজার ইন্টারফেস — it uses ini files. There will be an OFC.ini file included in the tools folder as an example. You will need to edit it — you can use notepad or any text editor to do so.
There are actually lots of options for configuring ofc.ini, but I’m just interested in converting all the files in a particular folder (and subfolders) into newer file formats. To do this make the following edits. এই পর্যন্ত পথ-গভীরতা সঙ্গে owrk হবে 9 subfolders deep — there seems to be a bug that prevents it working beyond that.
