How Can We Help?
To open Doc Converter Pro Settings click on selected SETTINGS button:
This will show following settings window:
Settings button: Most of the settings are self-explanatory but here is a guide to the main settings:
General options
Show Conversion Log when converting – this option will always show Conversion Log window (shown below) when files are converted. The log is useful to help you see how long it takes to convert files and troubleshoot any conversion errors.
Remember input files list – Doc Converter Pro will remember all input files you have added to your files list each time you start the Doc Converter Pro application. This is useful if you regularly convert the same documents.
Display Errors in Message Box – by turning this option off, Doc Converter Pro will add any errors to Conversion Log only; otherwise Doc Converter Pro will show a window with error details each time an error occurs. Turning this option off is useful when you batch convert a lot of files and you don’t want to interrupt the Doc Converter Pro conversion by showing the errors window. If any errors occur during conversion Doc Converter Pro will report them only in the Conversion Log.
Use single threaded conversion – enabling this option will cause Doc Converter Pro to convert your documents one by one in a sequence. If this option is disabled then conversion will run in parallel mode (all CPU cores will be used to convert documents) to speed up conversion if you’re conversion many files. There are rare cases when conversion in multi-threaded mode cause issues when conversion many files with MS Word engine, that’s why there is an option to enable single threaded conversion mode.
Add Folder
Add folder file types: you can choose what type of files will be visible when you are adding files to the file list. This is useful for folders with mixed file types, e.g. you can set it to only show .doc files.
Scan subfolders: if you tick this option, when you add a folder to the file list, it will also include the contents of any sub folders within the folder.
Use internal editor: Doc Converter Pro has a built-in code editor but you can specify a different editor if you like.
Install/Uninstall MS Word Button Add-in: Clicking this will make Doc Converter Pro install an add-in into Microsoft Word. Please note that Doc Converter Pro MS Word Add-in feature is a separate installer. Normally the toolbar is installed as part of the main Doc Converter Pro installation. You should not need to install it separately.
After successful add-in installation MS Word will show the following tab:
When you click on Convert button it will launch the Doc Converter Pro program and convert currently active MS Word document. You can also click the Convert to Clipboard button to convert the current document and copy its converted contents to the clipboard ready for pasting.
Very important! Before you install the Button:
Please note you will need to close MS Word (the best is to close any MS Office apps) before you run the installer. If you have problems installing it, please reboot your computer and do not open any programs before running the installer again. The installer requires Word to be closed, but sometimes it can run in the background as programs like Outlook will link into Word. For advanced users you can also option task manager and kill any references to winword.exe before installing.
Right Click Menu
The right click feature lets you right click on a file in windows explorer and convert it directly. You can enable or disable Doc Converter Pro right click menu. By default Doc Converter Pro right click menu is enabled. When for some reason you want to disable it please click ‘Turn Off/On Explorer Right Click Menu’ button.
Favourite Templates
You can select up to 3 templates that will appear on the right click to convert a file option. A great new feature of Doc Converter Pro is the ability to right click on a file, select convert and Doc Converter Pro will automatically convert the file and paste the contents into the clipboard ready to be pasted into another app or CMS. The right click supports up to three templates, and you can set the templates to use in the settings ribbon.
