Office 2008 has a compatability setting in their preferences. Some of the
older douments are opening with document using Office 2000 - 2004 and X
compatability instead of Office 2007 - 2008. Unfortunely, Microsoft Office
does not save the changes to preferences when you save or save as a document.
While the document is open, preferences show correctly. But once you close
the document then re-open it, the preferences are changed back to the old
compatability setting. One Mac expert here think if the users save the
document as a docx first then change the compatability setting, the setting
will stay. Then the user can change it back to a doc -- my company's policy
to use Office 97 - 2004 setting for all of Office. Otherwise, users will have
to copy and paste old documents into new blank documents. It would help if
the compability setting for 2008 would save that prefernce setting.
