Yes, our Office 2003 users have the compatibility pack installed.
How will this help me with the behavior of how/when Word 2007 kicks into
compatibility mode for newly created documents?

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.
