How to convert older office documents to new version(2007/2010) using Open XML

Hi,

Is there any way to convert older versions of office documents(Microsoft Office 97/2003) to new version(2007) using Open XML? .Currently I am using office application (COM) object for this conversion but it it memory consuming.So I need a solution without using office application objects.

I would suggest taking a look Microsoft's Word Services (formerly Word Automation Services) which can perform converting .doc files to .docx

Have a look at the Microsoft.Office.Word.Server namespace:
