Office 2010 defaults to .docx format. Is there a way to change this to
.doc.
Most users I am in contact are still using older formats. Have suggested
they download compability file, but seems they can't read.
Click File, Options, Save, then change Save files in this format to Word
07-2003 format (*.doc) then click OK. Do the same for all other programs,
..xls for Excel, .ppt for PowerPoint if needed by opening each of those
programs.
Let us know if this helps. BTW, you should not be using a beta piece of
software in any production environment. Now that I have said that, I have
been using it for a while testing alongside of Office 97, 2000, 2002, 2003
and 2007 and have not had any issues with cross compatibility of any created
files using the older folder styles. I have had minor issues with the
compatibility pack on Office 2002 using .pptx files.
