If you want help from Microsoft then you need to approach Microsoft who will
be happy to take your money. This is a user peer group. No-one here works
for Microsoft..

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.
