Default 2003 to 2007

I already know that I suppose to be able to access the New Document dialog
box via Office button New in Word 2007 . But I do not get the New Document
dialog box. The dialog box I get is simply named Templates. This dialog box
has tabs that say general, faxes, letters, etc. and buttons that say "ok"
and "cancel" It looks nothing like the New Document Dialog box should for
Word 2007. I want it to look like and act like it is suppose to for Word
2007. I am not interested in anything that looks like 2003 which is exactly
what I am getting when I click office button new.

In Word 2003, the Templates dialog is the same thing as the New dialog,
just with a different name; in Word 2007, as you've seen, it's a bit
different.

In Word 2007, you can access the New Document dialog via Office Button |
New. If you want to add the New Document dialog to the QAT, right-click New
in the Office Button menu and choose "Add to Quick Access Toolbar."

Or you can get the classic New dialog by clicking "My templates" in the left
pane of the New Document dialog. If the latter is what you are wanting, you
can add it to the QAT instead (it's listed in Customize as "New Document or
Template").

I was using 2003. Just installed 2007. For some reason all my defaults
are
set to 2003...really frustrating!! I figured out how to change most
defaults
to 2007. However, when I try to open a new document, I am NOT getting the
"New Document" dialog box. I am getting a "Templates" dialog box. How do
I
fix this to get the "New Document" dialog box.
