Thanks, have not revisited this for a while.

Seems these convert one file at a time.

I'm more thinking about a program that could be run (maybe on first run 
of LibO ?) offering to convert all MSO files to their ODF equivalents, 
under same name, parsing all subfolders of a tree. Custom renaming, file 
exclusions and other stuff would be nice to have, but not mandatory.

I'm more interested in something like the mso2ooo:
<http://leapon.net/en/mso2ooo-batch-convert-microsoft-office-documents-openoffice-documents>

The author even says that integration into OOo/LibO should be possible 
(for an OOoBasic-nerd):
"If someone could make the equivalent of mso2ooo.py in OpenOffice.org 
Basic, it would be just one step. Or integrate mso2ooo.py in mso2ooo.odt 
(OpenOffice.org documents can contain Python scripts, it’s just I can’t 
do it). This also solves the problem of Python in Windows."

Best,

Sveinn
