     Choose the ‘Convert XLS’ conversion method. You can also select the MS Excel conversion method if you have MS Excel installed.

     Specify the Original File Format.  In this case it is “[52] MS Macro-Enabled Workbook (*.XLSM, *.XLSX, *.XLSB)”.

    Click on the Options button and choose the sheets, ranges and whether to include values or 'formulas and values' to convert.

3.  Now specify the Target (output) file path. If you are doing a whole folder, then specify the whole folder using the “*.ext” format (for example "c:\output\*.XLS").  Finally, specify the ‘Convert To File Format” target (output) file type.  In this case it is “[-4143] Microsoft Excel Workbook (*.XLS)”.
