Template and Compat Mode

[WesE]

Hello,

Here is the scenario that is causing us problems.

1. Open .dot template to create new doc, Word 07 Opens in Compat mode and
user makes edits.

2. User saves doc, Word 07 wants to save the file as .docx, to save the file
as .doc requires the user to select the option - Maintain compat ....

What we need is for Word 07 to default to saving in Word 97-03 format.
However we do not want to set that globally. That is, docs created from a
Word 03 template should default to saving in Word 03 format and new docs
created in Word 07 save as .docx. Is this possible?

Thanks,

-Wes

Cindy,

Thanks for the response. Would the macro go in the global template or in
each individual template? We have about 900 Word 03 templates so altering
them is a large effort.
