Vista compatibility with XP

C

Chris

I have a new PC with Windows Vista installed. However, I work from home with
an organisation which has several employees who use Windows XP and Word 97
and they are having trouble opening my documents

I know I can save individual docs by saving as Word 97-2003 compatible, but
having to remember to do this every time is becoming a nuisance.

Can I set my computer to default to this method of saving docs everytime?

Also, users of older Office products can download the
Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack. Unfortunately, this
doesn't work with Office 97.
