Default Word 2007 Files Are Automatically Created in Compatibility Mod

Thank you. I set the "Save files in this format" option to the .docx format,
but for some reason Word still opens in compatibility mode to create a new
document. Do you know a way I can create a new document in the Word 2007
format without having to upconvert the blank document first?

When my Office 2007 was installed, the option to create files in Word
2007 was set to compatibility mode. Does anyone know how to change
this back permanently to create files in xml mode (the default Word
2007 format)? I can't find it in the Word options.


Go to Office button Word Options Save. The first box, "Save files in
this format", sets the default format.
