Office 2007 and saving files in legasy mode

[AP]

Hi all

I have a user that uses Office 2007 and creates new documents/spreadsheet by
right hand clicking and selecting new --> MS Office Word Doc or MS Office
Word Doc.

Problem is, they are saved in the new format of 2007 and not using the saved
settigns within word or excel to save into 97-2003 version (.xls or .doc)

Is there a way to set the default setting throughout office to save to
97-2003 file format.

Your advice appreciated, wasnt sure what other newsgroup this would belong
too.

Not throughout Office but within the applications, yes. Click on the Office
button and I think it's under Options. (I'm not on a system with 2007 right
now.)

Yes, under Office the setting can be set but within windows explorer option
to create new file ie. word doc or excel it doesnt.

Not throughout Office but within the applications, yes. Click on the
Office button and I think it's under Options. (I'm not on a system with
2007 right now.)
