Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This application easily converts multiple files from one format to another, though file formats are limited. File Conversion Wizard for Word and Excel's straightforward interface is comprehensible, and its clear, and step-by-step instructions further ease the learning curve. Basic pull-down menus let you select a folder to work with, as well as the file for conversion and for the output file.
As long as the file formats you're using are recognized by Microsoft Word and Excel, you're good to go. You'll be able to convert files in RTF, HTML, CSV, DOC, and TXT formats, along with a few others. During testing, the program quickly scanned the selected folder and displayed files with the specified file format. Since each file listed is checked for conversion by default, a simple uncheck of the files to be excluded in the transfer was nearly effortless. The conversion process was quick, though this demo severely tags newly converted files. Despite the trial restriction, users will find file conversion with this application to be a virtual cakewalk.

Version: File Conversion Wizard for Word and Excel 1.11
Pros: Had no problems converting the files I needed to (esp. WPS format).
Cons: The user interface was not intuitive, but worked well. Also, the lack of drag-and-drop is a drawback (hence 4/5 stars).
Summary: The students at my selective north-eastern USA university can't read simple instructions and send files in whatever format they feel like. So far, this quick and small program has handled all the problems I couldn't clean up with Word 2007 and OOo 3... read more >>
