Using SharePoint 2010 Word Automation Services Convert Excel And PowerPoint

Question

Is there a way to convert Excel or PowerPoint Files with SharePoint 2010 Word Automation Services?

Currently we can convert word files using something like this

ConversionJob pdfJob = new ConversionJob("Word Automation Services");
pdfJob.Name = "Mortgage Report";
pdfJob.UserToken = myWebsite.CurrentUser.UserToken;
pdfJob.AddFile(outputWordFilename, outputWordFilename.Replace(".docx", ".pdf"));
pdfJob.Start();

Or its a way to convert Excel or PowerPoint to Word, and the use the same code?

Karens, With SharePoint 2010 Word Automation Services, i could not get the solution, want i did was using the Interop classes to convert the files myself. Theres Also some dll that can help you, but at the end it was easier just using the interop. Let me know if you need more details. — Xavier Casillas
