## 🚀 What is Office-Morph?
**Office-Morph** is an intelligent automation utility designed to seamlessly convert legacy Microsoft Office binary formats into modern XML standards. It streamlines the transition from older archives to current, accessible formats.

## 📦 Components
* **Offic-Morph.bat**: The interactive main menu and execution interface.
* **FolderConverter.ps1**: The high-performance core processing engine.

## 📝 Usage Modes
The tool is highly flexible and offers three distinct execution modes:

1. **Drag'n'Drop (Maximum Convenience):**
Simply drag a folder and drop it directly onto the `Office-Morph.bat` file.
2. **Manual Input:**
Launch the batch file and paste the target directory path into the console, then confirm with **Enter**.
3. **Express Mode (Current Folder):**
Press **Enter** to process the tool's current directory.

## 🛠️ New in v1.3: Maintenance Module
After converting your files, you can now use **Option [2]** in the main menu to:
* **Deep Clean:** Recursively scan and permanently delete old `.doc`, `.xls`, and `.ppt` files.
* **Safety First:** Includes a confirmation prompt to prevent accidental data loss.
* **New Logo:** Freshly designed ASCII art Logo

---

## ⚠️ Important: Administrative Rights
This tool requires **LOCAL ADMINISTRATOR PRIVILEGES** to access Office COM interfaces and perform file system operations.
**Please run `Offic-Morph.bat` by RIGHT-CLICKING and selecting "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR".**
