No, we read the question the same way--I'm just saying forget about
these original files and using a macro to convert them. That work has
already been done to use them in Word 2004 (OP said). Instead of
*re*-converting the original files for Word 2008, move the already
converted files from Word 2004 into Word 2008.
This does presume that the Office 2004 preferences were backed up, but I
thought even if you Removed Office 2004, it didn't trash the preferences.
