Hi Mike,

Welcome to the club!

What is the driving force behind all this change? Is IT mandating a smaller set of software programs? Do you have to facilitate working with a new set of vendors who can offer cheaper rates if you're using "standard" software?

Don't think of it as busy work. Think of it as an opportunity to learn new marketable skills.

I question whether you need to change everything or just work on it "as you go." Instead of trying to convert everything, just change the documents that need to be updated along with any new documents you work on. That ought to keep you very busy for a long time. Also, I would look at it as a chance to improve your products. I know I look back at things I did a long time ago and see things I'd like to change. Perhaps you can even adopt a new look and feel to your document set and break out of the old mold.
