Upgrade File .doc to .docx & Keep History
Daniel Jameson
In our SharePoint portal (2007) we upload a document with the same name as
an existing document (e.g.: MyDocument.doc) and it adds it to the revision
history for that document.
I upgraded MyDocument.doc to MyDocument.docx and uploaded it to our
SharePoint portal. It saved it as a new file instead of adding it the
history of the existing document.
Is there anyway to tell SharePoint to make MyDocument.docx a new revision of
MyDocument.doc? It really is the same document, just a new version. That
will be a problem if organizations loose there document history every time
they upgrade from doc to docx. Also, in the Document Library, you end up
with two items with the same name but different histories.

1. open the .doc file in Word,
2. save it to a temp directory as .docx,
3. open doclib in Explorer view,
4. change extension from .doc to .docx,
5. re-upload the .docx as a new version.
This is tedious for more than a couple of files, but is pure out-of-box.
