My Word 2002 insists on saving in Word 6.0/95 format

[Robert185Clark]

I use Word 2002 (with XP SP2) . Recently I received a Word 6.0/95 file for
editing. I didn't realise this until I came to save it. I saved it as Word
2002.
Since then, whenever I go to save ANY existing Word file on my system, I am
warned that it will be saved as 6.0/95.
I have tried restarting both Word and the PC, to no effect.
Questions:
1. Do I need to re-install Word?
2. What did I do wrong?
Thanks
RC

Check Tools > Options > Save. You will probably find that the default save
format has been set to Word 6.0.

(You might also find that 'Disable features after' has got set to Word 6.
'Disable features' can be a very sticky setting so you have to clear it from
a lot of documents. If so, note that you must make another change in the
document before saving if you want the changed setting to take.)
