Group policy for 2007 file format

[itrickp]

I know I can use a GPO to force the save feature in Word, Excel, Access to
save in 97-2003 format but even with this GPO enabled, if I then right click
the desktop > new > Word Document, the filetype is .docx. I can then open,
edit and save this file and it remains .docx. Is there a group policy that
can force this into 97-2003 format too?

I did find, right in front of me, the "Compatibility mode on file creation"
policy which I think should control this, it just isn't working. If someone
knows this is the correct policy to set, I'd appreciate a post, otherwise
I'll keep testing.

I also get the same problem. When looking at the GP Results on the Client
machine shows the Policy is filtered out becuase it is empty but when looking
at the setting in the Group Policy Tool it has a number of settings for
Office 2007. I would be interested if anyone has got the file formats to work
and how they did it.
