why do you want to do it in word? i would use notepad instead (start->run->notepad.exe <- you have tpo type in notepad.exe) and then just type in the file extension when you save e.g. test.bat and select save as type 'All Files'. If you do it from word you'll get all sorts of formatting gumpf around the edge, not just the text that you've typed in.
If you really want to save it in word and then make it a .bat file, view it in windows explorer and rename the file to .bat. note for that you'll need to be able to see file extensions in windows explorer, which you can do by going to Tools -> Folder Options and ensuring the option 'Hide extensions for known file types' is not checked...
Hope this helps

There are a couple of ways to do this.
1) Open the document in Word. Click Save As then change the File Type drop-down list to Text File *.txt. The filename field will now be showing the filename with .txt on the end. Simply change .txt to .bat and click save. Say Yes to all messages about formatting etc
2) Open Windows Explorer from the Programs list and click Tools then Folder Options. Click on the View tab and make sure the Hide extensions for Known File Types option is unchecked. Then click OK and navigate to your Word document through Windows Explorer. Right Click the document and select Re-Name then simply change the .doc to .bat. Click Ok or Yes to any warning messages.

First of all, a bat file is a file which operates other files (tells 2 or 3 other files to run, how, and in what order. It can be written by any word processor as a text file with a title ending in .BAT.

when you go to save
click the triangle and look in the Extention options to see if it is there, if it is not there, in the box where you enter the name you wish to give the file, at the end put .bat..... so it would look something like WordFile.bat, and this should work, if you can not save it as a .bat file, try converting it from a .doc to a .bat... by using Yahoo!

bat files are simple text without format. Save As a text file (txt), then change the file extension.

File, Save as, then type the name of the file and add .bat to the end. Depending on how you have set up windows dependins on if you have to select all file types in the save as box.

well, you could just rename the extension, but why are you trying to turn a word file into a batch handler?
use notepad to save .bat files; .bats are just straight text and word uses rich text.

first save the file as Text only (txt) then once is saved just simply change the file extention from .txt to .bat
you could also use MS dos to create BAT files
go to the msdos prompt
type the following
copy con
then type commands you want to run
then to save it hold the ctrl key and press z then enter

Save as select a .txt extension so that strips out all of Words belles and whistles, put the name of your file in inverted commas, press save button.
