Office-Morph is an intelligent automation utility designed to seamlessly convert legacy Microsoft Office binary formats into modern XML standards. It streamlines the transition from older archives to current, accessible formats using the native Office COM engine.
How It Works: Automated batch processing in action.
- Office-Morph.bat: The interactive main menu with a fixed-scale UI (91x25).
- FolderConverter.ps1: The high-performance core processing engine with advanced logging.
The tool is highly flexible and offers four distinct execution modes:
- Manual Input: Launch the batch file and paste the target directory path into the console.
- Express Mode (Current Folder): Press Enter without a path to process the tool's current directory.
- Secure Cleanup: Integrated mode to permanently delete legacy files after verification.
- Office Quick Repair: Built-in troubleshooting option to launch a local Microsoft Office repair directly via the command line.
The 2.1 update introduces built-in maintenance tools alongside the core conversion features:
- Integrated Quick Repair: Instantly trigger a local Microsoft Office repair process without navigating through the Windows Control Panel.
- Privilege Detection: Smart checking for administrative rights to ensure the repair engine runs successfully.
- Fixed Window Scaling: Minor adjustment to a 91x25 console layout to perfectly accommodate the expanded menu.
- Detailed Reports: Full breakdown (Converted/Skipped/Errors) displayed in console and saved to
office_morph_details.log. - Deep Scan: Automatically detects and converts legacy files across all subdirectories.
- Smart Skip: Detects existing
.docx/.xlsx/.pptxfiles to avoid redundant processing. - Temp-File Shield: Automatically ignores hidden Office owner files (
~$). - ANSI Color Support: Clear visual feedback for successes, skips, and errors.
- One-Click Maintenance: Fast troubleshooting for corrupted Office COM engines directly from the menu.
- Installed Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
- Windows PowerShell 5.1 or higher.
- Execution Policy: The
.batlauncher automatically handles theBypasspolicy for the session. - Administrative Privileges: Required only when using the Office Quick Repair option.
