Scrolling through all Word files in a directory

I have the following code:

Sub WordtoTxtwLB()
'
' WordtoTxtwLB Macro
'
'
Dim fileName As String
myFileName = ActiveDocument.Name

ActiveDocument.SaveAs2 fileName:= _
"\\FILE\" & myFileName & ".txt", FileFormat:= _
wdFormatText, LockComments:=False, Password:="", AddToRecentFiles:=True, _
WritePassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, EmbedTrueTypeFonts:=False, _
SaveNativePictureFormat:=False, SaveFormsData:=False, SaveAsAOCELetter:= _
False, Encoding:=1252, InsertLineBreaks:=True, AllowSubstitutions:=False, _
LineEnding:=wdCRLF, CompatibilityMode:=0


End Sub

I want to encode this sub through all the words (.doc) files in a directory. I have the following code:

Sub LoopDirectory()

vDirectory = "C:\programs2\test"

vFile = Dir(vDirectory & "\" & "*.*")

Do While vFile <> ""

Documents.Open fileName:=vDirectory & "\" & vFile

ActiveDocument.WordtoTxtwLB

vFile = Dir
Loop

End Sub

But it does not work. How to make this work either by changing the current code, or using a new code?

You really don't need the WordtoTxtwLB macro. You can combine both codes. see this example

( UNTESTED )

Sub LoopDirectory()
    Dim vDirectory As String
    Dim oDoc As Document

    vDirectory = "C:\programs2\test\"

    vFile = Dir(vDirectory & "*.*")

    Do While vFile <> ""
        Set oDoc = Documents.Open(fileName:=vDirectory & vFile)

        ActiveDocument.SaveAs2 fileName:="\\FILE\" & oDoc.Name & ".txt", _
                               FileFormat:=wdFormatText, _
                               LockComments:=False, _
                               Password:="", _
                               AddToRecentFiles:=True, _
                               WritePassword:="", _
                               ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, _
                               EmbedTrueTypeFonts:=False, _
                               SaveNativePictureFormat:=False, _
                               SaveFormsData:=False, _
                               SaveAsAOCELetter:=False, _
                               Encoding:=1252, _
                               InsertLineBreaks:=True, _
                               AllowSubstitutions:=False, _
                               LineEnding:=wdCRLF, _
                               CompatibilityMode:=0

        oDoc.Close SaveChanges:=False
        vFile = Dir
    Loop
End Sub

By the way, are you sure you want to use a wildcard *.*? What to do if there are Autocad files in the folder? It will also ActiveDocument.Nameprovide you with a file name with the extension.
