Hi RBITECH,

To save all the new documents in Office 2007 as Office 2003 format by
default, follow the steps below.
-----------------
Click the Office button Word/Excel/PowerPoint Options choose Save set
'Save files in this format' as Office 97-2003 format.

If you want to save the existing Office 2007 files as Office 2003 format,
we need to use Save As menu.
-----------------
Open the Office 2007 files (*.docx, *.xlsx, *.pptx). Click Office button
Save As Word 97-2003 document save it.
If you are using Office 2003, please install the FileFormatConverters.exe
so that you can open/save the Office 2007 files in Office 2003.

If you want to transfer the existing Office 2003 files as Office 2007
format, we can use the Office File Converter tool.
-----------------
We can use the Office File Converter which is included in the OMPM to
convert files in bulk. The Office Migration Planning Manager (OMPM) is a
collection of tools that enables you to prepare for migration to the
Microsoft 2007 Office system.

Following is the key steps.

1. Download OMPM and save it on C:\.
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?linkid=75727

2. Click the Start menu Run type the following command and click OK.

C:\MigrationPlanningManager.exe /extract:c:\ompm
3. Download and install the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word,
Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats (FileFormatConverters.exe).
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...470-3AE9-4AEE-
8F43-C6BB74CD1466&displaylang=en

4. Open the file C:\ompm\Tools\ofc.ini. Modify the following things:

Under FoldersToConvert section, remove the ";" before fldr and add the file
path (the folder that contains the files you want to convert) after "="

5. Double click the ofc.exe tool. Then, it will begin to convert. It will
create a folder named "Converted". It will convert all the files in the
path folder we defined in #4 (including subfolders) to the "Converted"
folder

files to the 2007 Office system, refer to the following webpage.

That is a lot of info, thank you! I have one question that it doesn't answer
though...

I've got docx files appearing on my network despite setting the default
format to office 2003. The reason is that folks are picking "save as" to
change the name of the document, and the menu then also asks "what format".
Folks then pick "word document" which is the new docx format rather than the
default file format (which I had changed to .doc).

How do I disable the "save as" option to make docx?

Many thanks for your help!
