You might be better off, logically, copying the original *.doc files to another separate directory, and then perform a 'mv *.doc to *.txt
That way you still have all your original files in native format.
As stated previously, just changing the extension, does not change the filetype.

NOT mean the 'mv' command will convert the file.
I have confidence methyl knows this and just didn't explain it very well.
