Dealing with Office 2007 & Office 2003 file formats

My company plans on moving to Office 2007 soon. However, we have a delimma
with how to handle how Office files are saved.

For example, if a person open a .doc & makes changes in Office 2007 and some
of those changes are not supported by the .doc, then the file is saved as a
..docx. This leaves us with two files... a doc & a docx. We really don't
want someone updating the .doc anymore.

Any suggestions on how to deal with this?

Side notes:
~We have the compatibility pack installed on all computers.
~The batch converter tool doesn't seem like a good fit for us. We have
files in multiple locations, many servers...
~We have considered using Global policy to change the Save options to save
only to a .doc. However, that defeats the purpose of having Office 2007.

I apologize if this has been asled before. Thanks for the help!
