Although it was rtf then in stead of txt.

Now it's your decision to spend some time in learning enough VBA to finish this project or spend some time by doing it repeatedly via the GUI (100 times 30 seconds = 50 minutes).

(My knowledge of VB is close to non-existent - I just want to record and run a macro)
Using MS-Word 2007.
I have about 100 files, named "1.doc", "2.doc", etc.
I need to edit them, and then convert them all to text files, using "File | Save As."
Using "1.doc" as my example, I record a macro, and go through the entire "File | Save As" process - merely changing the file type to text, and then the formatting, and saving it as "1.txt"
It works fine with this file, but, when I run the macro on "2.doc", it wants to save it ALSO as "1.txt", because the macro actually records the file name (not the key strokes). (See the macro below).
So, I need it to get the current file name, and save file as currentfilename.txt.
Macro:
~~~~~~
----
Sub FileSaveAsClose()
'
' FileSaveAsClose Macro
'
'
ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="1.txt", FileFormat:=wdFormatText, _
LockComments:=False, Password:="", AddToRecentFiles:=True, WritePassword _
:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, EmbedTrueTypeFonts:=False, _
SaveNativePictureFormat:=False, SaveFormsData:=False, SaveAsAOCELetter:= _
False, Encoding:=65001, InsertLineBreaks:=False, AllowSubstitutions:= _
False, LineEnding:=wdCRLF
End Sub

Thanks in advance.
