As I've said elsewhere, Compatibility mode isn't really very useful and most
people think there are more important issues in need of attention in Word
2007. At best, your problem is a very minor one and, although I can't speak
for Microsoft, I doubt you will get what you consider a satisfactory
resolution even if you pay for it; I would think that the best you could
expect would be a change to the web page so that it tells you what you
already know.
What benefit were you hoping to get out of this?

PUHLEEZE get someone within Microsoft to acknowledge the problem and
either
give me a solution, or a timeframe when I can expect one.

According to the O2k7 Resource kit (specific page link below), if you
set
your default save format to the 97-2003 formats, when you create a new
document in Word, it should automatically open the blank document in
[Compatibility Mode]. I've tried two completely different installations
(one
at work with one set of media, and another at home with a different set
of
media), and this isn't the case. I have to first save the new blank
document
before [Compatibility Mode] kicks-in.
Excel and PowerPoint behave as described in the res. kit. New workbooks
and
presentations open up automatically in compatibility mode if you've set
the
default format to the 97-2003 formats.
